Two Books

I'm dealing with some "life issues" at the moment and they have really darkened my outlook on just about everything. Knowing that my outlook has been darkened I know that my views on writing and movies are unfairly slanted towards the negative. Instead of making negative comments about the last few books I have read I have put them aside to read again later when things are better.

Let me go ahead though and mention a couple of books that I think you would enjoy.
  • Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill. A ghost story with a love story thrown in. You won't see the love story right away, but it will sneak up on you. Good book.
  • Everything's Eventual by Stephen King. This is a great collection of short stories. One of the stories, 1408, has been made into a movie that should be on the big screens this summer. There is a little of something for everybody in these stories.
There you go. Two suggestions that I promise will entertain you.
