Strange choice. The books are quite old. But i've read with pleasure some of them. Btw, thanks for posting that.

take if from any librarian you happen to see, but 'The Book of Counted Sorrows' (2003), by Dean Koontz does not exist. It's a mythical book that Koontz refers to in his novels.
You can look it up:

bkvl -- Indeed, "The Book of Counted Sorrows" used to be a mythical book, but Koontz turned that into a real book in 2003. More details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Counted_Sorrows

Actually, "The Book of Counted Sorrows" was put together into a book around 2003. I saw it with my own eyes, and I thought, "oh, cool, finally." Unfortunately I didn't have the money to buy it. Now I'm wishing I had. But the point is, it does exist.

So how is the book written? Literarily or entertainingly? (of course i don't mean the two are exclusive).
