When all else fails, read a great book! Plop in your favorite chair with a blanket or a dog and immerse yourself in another world. Reading is an escape and place to relax and enjoy writers of all genres. I am fairly non discriminating although I probably love fiction most of all. I hope you enjoy the books I am reading. My goal is to read one great book a week!

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

I am always intrigued by evil that can be felt but not necessarily seen. I also will never view an approaching angry storm in the same way after reading this book.

This book hints at the needs and desires of the average person who wishes to be extraordinary. A "simple" carnival comes to town on the wake of an unusual storm and nothing is the same thereafter. Evil comes in many forms, but in this case, it is almost believable after looking into the desires of some of the town people.

I often have a book I can read during the day and one that I save for night time reading. This is a particularly scary book with wonderful imagery that puts the reader as an avid watchter of the unfolding of this story.

4.5* out of 5*
