I want to read King's "Under The Dome", it seems interesting. Sort of a take on D.F. Jones "Denver Is Missing".

No Dragao, Denver is still here, I can see the brown fog and investment bankers jumping from the tallest building from here. 8-)

I just finished reading "Under The Dome".I could'nt put it down.Wish the ending had been a little different,but overall a very good read.I liked "Duma Key" better though.

My daughter wants to read Under the Dome, she is a huge Steven King fan. Thanks for book news Jessamy.

There are two books that I have thought about reading as of late, Under the Rainbow, Continued and The Last Cattle Drive.

In Under the Rainbow, Continued, Dorothy is now a mother and her eldest daughter with her dog Bruce have been told the tale about Oz, which Dorothy II (the eldest daughter) thinks is a load of cr@p. She just wants to sit and watch television and play on her computer. Just like mom, number II is caught in a Kansas tornado and taken to Oz where she is promptly captured by the Munchkins. Bruce escapes all this because they were looking for a little dog, not a sheep dog-German shepherd mix. Everyone above the height of 3' 5" is considered to be bad people and Bruce has to try and rescue Dorothy, the tin fellowship leader, the scarecrow union boss, the female lion (she was caught taking a nap), the good witch (some how they took her wand which took her powers), and the Wizard was left alone because everyone was scared of the old fart. He turned out to be a drunken stoner anyway and was useless except for when Bruce shown up.

It is a fun story, with plenty of mostly unintentional humor in it, and of course with the end Dorothy and Bruce wind up some place else and a few other unexpected things happen when she leaves Oz. I hope the next book will finally come out soon.

The Last Cattle Drive is about a newly hired college professor who has to work on a ranch/farm part time to make ends meet out in Hays Kansas (where I went to college, even), and this mythical drive finally starts to take place about half-way through the book and the story reads like this cattle drive actually took place in the 1970's between Hays Kansas to the Kansas City Stockyards (next to downtown KC at one time). The book is a fun read as well as a funny story about the people in western Kansas (plenty to folks were very pissed off at the author because of how similar they were in his book), those folks actions and little habits which if you were not aware of them you would never notice.

The Last Cattle Drive is a fictional story based on real places out in Kansas. Like a great description of the Garden of Eden, the town where Dorothy's House "so-called home" is sitting and even the mention of the World's Largest Prairie Dog (which happens to be about 120 miles to the west, opposite of how the story takes place). Who said folks who live in Kansas has no sense of humor. 8-)

New books that I would love to get are on the Myth Series, plenty of gawd-awful puns and the misadventures of Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, err I mean Ahz, Gleep, and the rest of the misfits. Also remember Ahz is a Pervect not a Pervert. 8-)
