I will treasure reading those now.
State of Fear is good and I would love to see Prey done into a movie. You can never read the book before the movie. The movie always sucks. Any good book HAS to be a mini series- The Hollywood formula of making everything 90 minutes or less really bites.

I saw The Stand miniseries last weekend and -even tho the characters were not the people I would have like to see- it was passable and O.K.

The special effects today are pretty good and any sci fi/fantasy movie can be made into something a little better than what was produced before.

LOL, get a spare bulb for the reading light, just in case.
