Odd Thomas

I finished Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz, and despite the fact that I really and truly enjoyed his characters, I have no real desire to real any more of his books. There was just something I didn't like about his writing.

Always she has sought a life utterly without stress, without contention, She acknowledges no duty to another, no responsibility to anyone but herself.

She would never call this selfishness. To her it is self-defense, for she finds the world enormously more demanding than she is able to tolerate.-Odd Thomas-Dean Koontz

I had wanted to be 40 books in by now, but as you see I am a mere 31. I plan on reading 10 books very fast. I am half way through A Calculated Risk by Katherine Neville. It is funny because it is all about technology/security and bank robbery, but it is set in 1992. So she is describing what a "Techie" is an stuff, it is cracking me up. Being a tekkie myself, it is pretty funny, but I remember well the days of hackers and cyberpunks. I couldn't have cared less about technology then though. Two years ago all I could do was check my email, things can change so fast.
