Finished this one last night between the end of milking at 7:30 and 11:30 a solid hour and half after I should have been in bed. (Do NOT under any circumstances start a Dean Koontz book when you don't have time to finish it. I had never read him before and didn't know.) And I did actually get breakfast before I started reading any of my three Sunday books....

And it came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him. So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to them. (Exodus 34:29-31)
ReplyDeleteDean Koonz is awesome! If you like his stuff, try David Baldacci...if you haven't already.
ReplyDeleteA nice, simple meme.

I'm a total Dean Koontz fan. I always read his books in one sitting. One VERY long sitting.

Love Dean Koonz!
akagaga, thanks for playing, good quote
ReplyDeleteStacy, I spent some of my Christmas money buying another book by him, but I will have to save it for Sunday when I have time to read it all at once. Thanks for the tip on Baldacci. I will find something by him the next time we go to the library and check it out. Always looking for new authors.
Mrs. M, it is indeed and fun too
Jan, I was afraid to read him, because with thrillers you never know if the author is going to kill off a lot of characters with whom you have become engaged. However, I think it may have been on your blog where I read a review that said he never killed the dog. I figured if he never killed the dog I was fairly safe, so I gave him a go. Glad I did!
One cowgirl! I love that author, Sara Gruen right? I haven't read Water for Elephants, but I loved Flying Changes and Riding Lessons. So few people do "real" horses. She was excellent at what the relationship between rider and horse is really like.
