That guy and his snow and dogs... I love dogs don't get me wrong, White Fang and Call of the Wild were my life when I was in middle school when we had to read the later for class, but you'd think the formula would get stale after a while... I'll be damned if I don't want to read them now though. Wish I remembered where my copies were now. 8(

THE PSYCHOTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FILM-MIchael Weldon. Was entranced when I first saw this in early 1984 and told my fiancée (Mrs FD) that "...I simply MUST have that volume!". She got it for me that Easter and I read it cover to cover, checking off the films I had seen and lending it out expecting those to do the same. So, with the exception of my paperback of Bob Greene's BILLION DOLLAR BABY, TPEOF is without the most dog eared book I have, all but falling apart.
However, last week, my turned into a big as my daughter got me a new, slightly used copy for my birthday. What a wonderful girl!

THE BETSY (1972)-Harold Robbins. The vast majority of Robbin's books involve money, big business and hypermasculine protagonists whose bedroom exploits are the sure answer to every woman's hopes and dream.
This is about the auto business and features not one, but two alpha males. Junky, to be sure, but a quick read, if nothing else. Pretty spicy stuff when I was a teen, particularly a scene involving Alpha Male #1 and a French dressmaker.

I just started The Deceased by Tom Piccerilli
The Body Snatchers by Jack Finney and Books of Blood Volume One by Clive Barker. I'm currently on the story, Midnight Meat Train. They are both good so far.

I'm thinking of reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, next. I tried reading it before and got halfway through Chapter One before caving and going back to the beginning. I have trouble reading books because I always read and reread if I'm unsure if I got all the information. I have to picture everything perfectly and I'm always looking words up in the dictionary. I use to love reading and I still do but it's become a chore since I read Misery by Stephen King in the 12th grade.

I found Brave New World a little overrated.

Is that a knock on Misery or a compliment? Just not sure with how you wrote it

Oh no, absolutely not. I love Misery. That's my favorite Stephen King novel. It use to be Carrie but Misery took it's placed after I read it in the 12th grade. It was a chore because I was going back and reading and reread, and opening a dictionary every five seconds. This was before smartphones where you could look up a word in two seconds or Kindle where you could tap the word and the definition appears.

I got a vintage paperback copy of Call of the Wild/Wild Fang with the price 45 cents printed on the cover. It looks like those old pulp novels. I have a few pulp novels, Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorpe and Out of the Dark by Ursula Curtiss. I have to sit down and read them. I got halfway through Chapter One of Call of the Wild and stopped. I want to pick it up again. I'd also like to read other anthropomorphic books like The Fox and the Hound by Daniel P. Mannix, Watership Down by Richard Adams, and The Animals of Farthing Wood series by Colin Dann.
