I’m back to reading. Who’da thunk it?!

You know, for a writer I haven’t been doing a lot of reading, and that’s damn near a cardinal sin. Writers write, but they also read, and over the past several years I’ve let that habit/passion slide to the wayside. Not sure why, though I think my increase in video game playing is mostly to blame. Be that as it may, over the past month or so I’ve managed to read and finish three books. That’s right, THREE. First it was “On Basilisk Station” by David Weber (it was okay, but not as good as I’d hoped), then “Contagious” by Scott Sigler (went in directions I hadn’t anticipated, and I loved the ride), and just the other day I finished “The Strain” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan (it had some issues, but all in all I loved it and highly recommend it). Man, that’s some speedy reading, for me anyway! It feels good, too. I feel like I’ve rediscovered an old love. Now I’m reading “Heart-Shaped Box” by Joe Hill, the son of my favorite author of all time Stephen King. It’s a good read so far. I love the way he gets into his characters’ heads and sets a mood. If any of you are interested in reading these books, here are some links that can get you to them. Now, back to reading!
