Thursday: And Let the Weekend Begin!

So, because the school district overanticipated the willingness of their teachers to take six more days we ended up the winners and got a couple four-day weekends when we usually have three.  So tomorrow, for no real reason, I get to sleep until noon.

So Thursday, on a whole, was just as uneventful as Wednesday.  And I know you all probably hate reading about boring day after boring day (that is, if anyone reads this at all, which I seriously doubt), so let me tell you about a few books you should probably read sometime in the near future.

IT – Stephen King: This is no doubt the best book I’ve ever read.  The characters are impeccable.  The story is excellent, thrilling, and suspenseful, and even though it is a little lengthy (1138 pages to be exact), you NEED to read it right now!

Angels & Demons – Dan Brown: Many people mistakenly think of this as the sequel to the Da Vinci Code.  Get it right… the Da Vinci Code IS the sequel.  This is the original (and undoubtedly best) Robert Langdon adventure.  It’s ridiculously entertaining, and even though some of the physics are sketchy (think airplane jump), it’s a great read.

Watchers – Dean Koontz: This is another great thriller, especially if you like dogs.  I can’t give much away but let me just say there’s a super-intelligent golden retriever whose being chased by an equally intelligent creature that somewhat resembles a puma and has all the power of an elephant.  I obviously can’t do it justice, so you should just go get it anyway.

Pulse / Instinct – Jeremy Robinson: I have not read Instinct, though I plan to soon, but Pulse was probably one of the more pulse-pounding books I’ve ever read.  It mixes in nonstop action (those of you who know what Delta Force is, think that), with tropical islands, killing suspense, and a pinch of Greek Mythology to make an amazing book.

Well now that I’ve guided your literary life it’s time for me to go and work on my own.  One last word of advice though… stay away from Dickens (unless you prefer to read so many words crammed onto a single page that you can’t uncross your eyes for a week).  He was paid by the word so he made his books as wordy as possible to get the maximum payback.  That is #1, REALLY fake, and #2, really boring to read.  Hasta la vista, y 祝你愉快的噩夢.
