BLOG 3: Books

1. Stephen King's "Duma Key"
This book talks about a man's horrible near death accident and all the changes it brings to his life. There are parts to this book I still crack up about, "I've seen Mexican mummies hauled through the streets of Guadalajara on the Day of the Dead who looked better than Gramma Mean Dog. She's got two basic lines of conversation. There's the inquisitive line --- 'Did you bring me a cookie?' --- and the declarative --- 'Get me a towel, Rita, I think that last fart had a lump in it.' " Entertaining, thought provoking with a twist.

2. Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander"
A woman walks through a time portal in Scotland and finds herself in the 1700s. She is quick to apply her herbal and medical knowledge to bad situations, and along the way shacks up with what I imagine to be the hottest Scotsman ever described in a book lol. They encounter ridiculous amounts of trouble and make you wish you were right there with them the whole time.

3. Bill Watterson's "The Essential Calvin And Hobbes"
A smart ass kid with a crazy vocabulary and equally robust imagination. Reading this as a child, I tried everything I could get away with from Calvin's world, and loved every moment of it.
