Reading

Ok! HUGE sigh.  Let me try this again and SAVE it this time!

A few months ago my son was visiting me from Germany.  While taking a long drive up to my grandmothers, he introduced me to Audio Books.  He plugs in his thingamabob into the jack in the car stereo system and to my great amazement and surprise....it is an audio of Roland from Stephen Kings "The Dark Towers" series.  My son and I had started that series 20 + years ago.  Well, Stephen King finally finished the series.  Oh my what a finish too!  So have I.  If it had not been for audio books I would never have gotten this far.  I do not have the time.  This way though I can just plug in and go. (I know, I know, this is not about Stephen King).

Well, after finishing that series, I was hooked.  I ran across some Dean Koontz audio books.  I listened to a few of them and really enjoyed them.  I had never read anything of his before. 
On my third book "The Darkest Evening of the Year",  Vernon Leslie, a hick detective, 5'8", stout, hunchbacked  man with thinning brown hair  was introduced.  Vernon was introduced in about chapter 18.  What made him interesting to me was not who he was in this 1st life, but who he was in his OTHER life. In his 1st life he was a PI who worked to pay for his other life, his 2nd Life. In his 2nd life he was Von Longwood, "he tooled around on a radically customized motorcycle, a real HOG, and he was a master of Tai Kwon Do. He had the costumes to prove it. In general he lived large."
