I just read to great books by two of my fave authors. Last night, I finished Duma Key by Stephen King. I think it’s as good as any of his best. I rank it as equal to Bag of Bones, and just about as good as The Stand (the best book of its genre ever written).  And just before that I read  Stephen R Donaldson’s  Fatal Revenant, the latest Thomas  Covenant book.  I adore fantasy novels  and   Donaldson is my favorite author in that genre.

I didn’t get to the gay beach, but I did get to the beach downtown.
