It is 1888 and Queen Victoria has remarried, taking as her new consort Vlad Tepes, the Wallachian Prince infamously known as Count Dracula.

brilliant so far

For Summer School (refresher):

For pleasure (although I'm not sure how I feel about it...):

I was midway thru this when I moved out & stuff...just found it packed away in a box.

...been almost a year since I was reading it...now I have to decide whether to pick up where I left off or start from the beginning.

My 70th Louis L'Amour novel. I cannot believe this, but they are STILL getting better and better!

He is hands-down my favorite author of all time.

Did you know that The Robe (1953; Richard Burton, Jean Simmons) was the first film shot in a wide screen format?

'Wild Animals' Three novels by Peter Straub.

Including:

'Julia' (Rubbish)

'If you could see me now' (Boring, OK ending)

'Under Venus' (Just started, no comment)

I do not recommend this book. But, I bought it so I'll read it.

I read Philip Dick's 'The Man in the High Castle' this past weekend, & liked it quite a bit, though it does get a bit muddled towards the end. I almost never read fiction (just people I don't care about doing things I'm not interested in), but I used to inhale Philip Dick books in my early twenties, and it was fun to revisit this. I bought it as part of a collection of four of his novels from the sixties. I'll work the other ones into my rotation over the coming months.

Next up is 'A Short Course in Intellectual Self-Defense.'

No I did not.

In fact it was AFTER I srtated reading this book that I came across info on google that it had been made into a movie.

Well, there ya go. I didn't know it had been a book.

The movie is very good. They used to show it all the time around Easter - but I haven't seen it in a few years now.

"Memoir of a Muse" by Lara Vapynar.

Now I am reading Sammy Hagar's book. It's awesome.

I'm a big fan of Sammy's, but haven't read this book. Apparenlty, he talks about his experience with aliens, so I figured I would avoid the book. Although, I do respect Sammy, he has made a great life for himself and has had a lot of success in various businesses too. His tequila is awesome.

When I get paid next week:

Nah, there's just one mention of UFOs in the books, where he says he believes there are UFOs. No alien stories, unless you count all the stuff about Eddie Van Halen. He might be an alien being.

The book is great. I read it in two days. Phenomenal stories. Hagar cracks me up.
