On and off and on and off, reboot, reboot, reboot = my pc

But it's okay - ppl have survived thousands of years sans the internet, and I will, too.

Highly recommend, Full Dark, No Stars, by Stephen King. Late to the party, but I could not put it down until I finished it. I'd been reading nothing but biographies, so these were especially fantastic to me. My son said, "You read Koontz for the plot, and King for the characters", but Stephen didn't do too damned shabby with the plots for these, I'd say. I also have, Failure is not an Option, on order - can't wait - by Gene Kranz.

Back to work, tonight - and still sans car; it's going to be a long two weeks, on that front - but it'll be okay. I may even be able to get that little fifty-buck pc, if my mother can drive me. Crossing fingers ;)

I love Stephen King too! I've been reading his work since 1980, so he's sort of an imaginary friend to me :) I always wonder if he misses his characters when he's finished them. His characters are awesome and he has a great sense of humor. I read Full Dark, No Stars while I was working as a CNA in a hospital ICU.

We'd get a lot of ETOH withdrawal and people who answered the question, "Do you have plans to hurt yourself?" incorrectly and we'd have to sit with them 1:1. Usually, they were unconscious so it was a great time to read. SK short stories were perfect for that.

Do you work the vampire shift too? I work NOC's.

I'm going to have to read some more King. The only book I've read is the one that had the four novellas, including the Shawshank Redemption. I loved it. You'll have to recommend something of his that isn't scary, though. ;)

True fact: Koontz lives about 5 miles from us, in a super tony area. When I was in high school one of my friends lived in the same neighborhood a few blocks away. His house is friggin HUGE!! And I have yet to read even one of the books that built that house. lol. Maybe another recommendation? :)

All the best with both car and pc.
