Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project.

The Odd Thomas books are a fun read
I recently read somewhere that he plans to write five or six Odd Thomas novels in all. He even wrote the story for an Odd Thomas graphic novel (comic book). It is set back as a prequel to the original story.

Never read the graphic novel.

Didn't really enjoy the sequels all that much.

The original is one of my favorite books of all time.

Right up there with World War Z.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Yup..... the first one was by far the best. I like Odd as a character, even though the books have somewhat of a jumped shark feel to them.

The one book I recall as "the one" that I couldn't put down, read it into the wee hours of the night/morning, woke up and would read more causing myself to be late for work was Robert Ludlum's "Bourne Identity."    (The movie was beyond a disappointment but I wasn't expecting much either.)

On a lighter note: 

Books I give as gifts for girls:   "Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots?"
For boys, the "Walter the Farting Dog" series.

All three are my favs.   ;D
