Last night as I was getting ready to turn in, I turned on Dennis Miller’s talk show, which is delay-broadcast here. A married couple was sitting in for him (I forget their names), and they announced that their next guest would be their friend Dean Koontz, to talk about his new novel, Odd Apocalypse.
I listened to the interview and took the book’s release date, my birthday, as a sign from heaven that I was meant to buy it now, and not wait for a lower price when the paperback comes out.
I’ll review it soon.
In other literary news, Gore Vidal has died.
They say you should speak no ill of the dead.
I have nothing more to say.
Someone with the chops to really rip up Vidal will probably write something somewhere, and we can link to it, as objective reporters in purity and societal righteousness would do.
Ahem.
I just finished Odd Apocalypse a few minutes ago. I’d tried to get other stuff done today, but found myself unable to concentrate on anything else until I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
I’m eager to see your review! Personally, this is my favorite Odd book since the first one.
Who’s “they?”
Awesome post title.
That is all.
Phil–how about this, from Christopher Buckley, on Vidal: http://www.tnr.com/blog/plank/105655/christopher-buckley-his-fathers-old-nemesis-gore-vidal
I did not like his poltics or him, but whenever The Best Man is on TV, I watch it. It’s still. along with Advise and Consent one of the best pure politics(non-thriller) political films ever.
