By the Light of the Moon

By Dean Koontz

 

I believe that Dean Koontz is the king of suspense.  Many of his books kept me on edge, and actually made my heart race with anticipation or fear.  His characters are always humorous, even when facing nightmarish hell on Earth.  You can't go wrong reading one of his books, and I can almost guarantee satisfaction.

   Isn’t there something that you want to know that your parents won’t talk to you about?  If you read about it, you’ll not only gain some knowledge, but your parents will probably not bother you because you’re reading.

 

 

When you have free time, and you want some entertainment, what do you do?  Do you pick up your Ipod?  Do you glue yourself to your TV, or video games?  Are you more of a computer fan that spends many hours either playing games or chatting with friends on line?

 

Next time you’re looking for something to do, why not pick up a book? Reading will not only expand your vocabulary, but will also improve your imagination.  It allows you to lose yourself in sometimes fantastical worlds, much like those of video and computer games, but with the additional benefits of increasing your language skills, and in many cases, learning something new. 

A lot of people, especially the younger crowd, have read maybe five books in their entire lifetime.  Usually, these books were forced upon them by teachers, and, lets face it, school reading is not quite so interesting.  Think of a topic you are particularly passionate about; wouldn't you like to learn more about it? Read a book!

 

There are books about anything and everything you can think of.  From mystery and thrillers, to science fiction and fantasy, from romance and drama, to biographies and memoirs, there is something for everyone.  Are you a history fan? Are you interested in learning about mental and or physical diseases? Are you a nature lover, or enjoy cooking? All you have to do, is search the topic, find a book, and read it.
