Scared me so much last night I almost couldn't go downstairs to feed my poor cat!
That book... was amazing. Not as good as some of his other stuff from around the same time (The Stand, It, Pet Semetary), but it was really good just the same.

@Lazarus and Scotty:
I couldn't very well say Smote because I haven't SMITED you have I? Duh! I write things to sound goo, not for grammatical correctness. I don't plan on being an editor or a nerd so nah nah nah nah nah!
I finished Firebird and went on to Death Count.
Good read.

No, you couldn't very well say "smote" because you haven't "smitten" us yet. Yeesh.

Really. Smitten is worse than smote.
"I smote thee down!"
"Uh...Sure."
It sounds about as scary as buttered bread!
And how can something that rhymes with "kitten" be considered serious or scary?
"Yeesh" yourself.
Which isn't a real word either according to FireFox spell checker

It's a sound, connoting exasperation.

...Yet I can't use smote?
...Life's not fair.
Anyway, to get back on topic, Death count is an Old school Star Trek book. With an original plot, funny banter, and Captain Kirk.
Those three things are enough for any mortal.

The Real History of the American Revolution by Alan Axelrod.
John Paul Jones rocks, Benedict Arnold sucks, thank God for the incompetency of the British officers, and I hope there's a monument somewhere to the number of horses that were killed in this war.

I started reading this aweful romance novel with vampires that I pulled from my girlfriend's bookshelf. It inspired me to write, because anything can be published if this can.

Hmm...Send me the name. I could use the inspiration.
Almost finished reading Head Game, by Tim Downs.
He's another of my favorite authors.
Then I plan to read Deep Blue. Again.
What?! I like to re-read things!

That's a good book, Keero. One of my favs.
I actually picked up The Historian at the library. It's a book I've been thinking about reading for a while, so...here goes. We'll see if I can finish it in four weeks. It's over 600 pages long, so...we'll see.

Building Harlequin's Moon
It was interesting through the first half of the book, but I'm tired of the characters whining "Oh my mom doesn't love me, You forget to wake me up TWENTY YEARS AGO, blah, blah, blah". It's getting pretty difficult to finish it.

Good bookery.

I was reading The Cider House Rules by John Irving, but due to graphic depictions of certain medical procedures, as well as a plethora of morally ambiguous content, I put it down.
Now, I'm reading All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy. He's one of my favorite authors, so I'm hoping this one turns out to be amazing.
