next month, in November, the fiction book club will be discussing one of my favorite books by Dean Koontz. .
Odd Thomas is about a simple man - a fry chef at a diner - who just happens to be able to see and talk to dead people.
.
Odd Thomas himself is a fascinating character, and the exploits that he gets into are very entertaining - and sometimes harrowing. This is one of the few times that Koontz takes a character into several different books - normally he creates new characters for each new book.
.
please pick up a copy of Odd Thomas and join us for a great discussion in November. We'll send you a reminder by email of the date - and please feel free to come even if you haven't read it.

If I followed my usual habit of highlighting favorite passages in the books we read for discussion, this entire book would be highlighted!

I love, love, love this book. I'm going to re-read it and join you for the discussion. Can't wait to hear what others think. Of all that I've read from Dean Koontz, this series is my favorite. This is primarily due to the books actually coming off as fully complete and not rushed towards the end.
Yeah, Tanya. I don't think I could have put my finger on it so precisely - about the ending - but I totally agree. I look forward to your input at discussion time.

The meeting is this Thursday at 7pm? Boy...I have to say that Odd Thomas is Koontz' best character.
...and all of his friends! Can we talk about each of them? I am particularly enamored with Little Ozzie. :-)
We had a GREAT discussion last night of this wonderful book. My thanks for a fun evening to Jeff, Emily and our newest member Tanya.

I really enjoyed the group discussion last night and can't wait until we meet again in January.
Oh, and thanks for the tip on The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. I rarely showed up for chemistry class. So, I never would have thought to find such an interesting book in that section of the store!
