All the radio silence

[tea_and_ink]

You've been getting from me, is because we've just been informed that our reports on The Project of Doom, must be turned in by the end of April. We're in March, and we'd planned to have it done by June... the earliest. So we're very, very delayed. Hence my absence.

Hopefully our "Teaser Trailers" will buy us some more time. Highly improbable, but hope dies last...

Also, I've been using my rather scanty spare time to read Dean Koontz. 

Which means that Koontz is the new hero in town. I think I'm in love peeps! So far got under my belt "By the Light of the Moon", "Velocity" and I'm on chapter eight of "Dean Koontz's Frankenstein" co-written by Kevin J. Anderson, who also co-wrote Dune's prequel with Brian Herbert. I'm happy about this.  They're all good books, thought provoking and well plotted honest-to-god suspense. Oh yeah, I'm very happy.

On another depressing news, we get Supernatural on Tuesdays here, we also got a massive black out last Tuesday. At 9:54 pm EXACTLY... It was a boring night. And NO SPN. There is no justice in this world!

Well, this all.

i LOVE Dean Koontz!! (as far as i can tell, i've read *everything* he's written, 'cept the Frankenstein books. i even have a book by him that has Leigh Nichols on the cover. ;)

Actually, I got the name from the list on your LJ. I was looking for something new to read, and since we have similar tastes...

I think is a series (it does say Book One: Prodigal Son) but as of yet, I haven't seen any Book Two or more. So until I don't have hard evidence of their existence, I shall doubt it.

actually, i believe that is a Frankenstein novel. there is a Book Two, and i think that's it. you could always google him.

and wow, you got his name from me. i'm honored. *blush*

oh -- the first book i read by him was Night Chills.... awesome reading.

i'd started it for my bedtime reading (9 or 10? i was home on break from college), and by the time i'd looked up -- i was 3/4 of the way though the book, i didn't even *realise* that 4 or 5 hours had passed. O.o

Yep, the guy definitely has that effect on you.
Gotta love a writer that can pull that off. Seriously.

This Frankenstein book is in English, which is why I bought it, haven't seen it in Spanish, so maybe in that book store they have more of his, will have to check.

oh i know.

more Koontz is definitely the way to go. :D

READ FEAR NOTHING AND SEIZE THE NIGHT. They're my favorites of his XD As well as Ticktock, which is quite different from his usual, though Del Payne is my hero :)

I've read only what I've been able to find so far. Sadly, he doesn't seem to be very popular around here. Maybe book stores are just starting to import his work and later on I'll be lucky enough to find more, but as of now, is all a big nada.

I loved Dylan O'Conner from the first moment. He was describing all the disadvantages of fast food, and I was in complete agreement with him, while merrily chewing on my cheese burger :P
Also, Detective Carson O'Connor (they're not related) is quite a character, she's awesome in a "Max" way, and her partner keeps reminding me of Alec, and all the time I'm reminding myself that this is NOT DA. But there is genetic manipulation too... so is hard, but I'm managing.

I LOVE DEAN KOONTZ!

I haven't read anything by him in years, but when I was younger I had read everything he'd written. The scariest one I ever read is called "Phantoms". He's one of my all time favorite authors. If I had time, I would totally get back into reading his stuff, but I do so much reading for school that I can't handle reading for pleasure right now! lol.

[penandnotebook]

Yeah, I hear ya sister. School has its way of preventing you from living... is amazing how they do it.
Fortunately, I'm yet to start on the heavy-duty part of the semester, so I'm taking advantage of that. Later on... I won't be as fast, so I won't be reading as much, but I WILL be reading dammit!
I need books to breathe, last time I was without extra-curricular reading... people around me were loosing their minds. So is a social necessity too.
