This reminds me of that great meme that is Running in the 90s over footage from Polar Express

vinceman ,

I watch that video to get fired up about rail infrastructure.

Finally. I knew consistently upvoting money cat was a good idea.

John Green first editions are less valuable if they’re signed, simply because all first editions are supposed to be signed. So that’s a fun fact.

Hmmm a cat with lots of hundred dollar bills, I wish I could train my cat to bring home money like that.

Dean Koontz is kind of like the RC Cola of horror/suspense novelists:

  • See RC Cola in the store
  • “Hmmmm, it’s been a while, but I THINK I liked RC the last time I got it”
  • Purchase and consume RC Cola
  • “I kind of wish this was a Coke, but it’s not that bad, might as well finish”
  • Several years pass, go back to step 1

As a side note, I LOVED Dean Koontz books back in the 80’s/90’s. They were fun and quick reads that are in the “high floor, low ceiling” realm of books.

Crozekiel ,

I’m offended by this, as I much prefer RC Cola to Coke or Pepsi… :/

Dr. Pepper > Cherry RC > Cherry Coke > Cherry Pepsi.

I like cherries.

frezik ,

Faygo Red Pop. It’s not really strawberry, it’s not really cherry, it’s not really anything. It tastes generically red. It’s also cheap and delicious.

I tried, yo. I really tried to like it. When I first moved to Michigan everyone was trying to give it to me all the time saying it’s the best, but I just can’t. Now, their Cherry Soda? Yum.

PopShark ,

Rock n Rye is great too!

But where is Cheerwine?

If there’s one reason to go to the Carolinas…Cheerwine.

I went for a Solar Eclipse but that won’t happen there for a while.

TheRedSpade ,

Don’t need to go to the Carolinas for Cheerwine. I live in Indiana and got it in my grocery order a few weeks ago. I had never had it before. It was listed as “Cherry Soda”. Imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be cherry cola. Gross.

jasondj ,

Were you looking for straight cherry flavor, like a Jones Soda?

TheRedSpade ,

I’ve never had Jones, but “straight cherry flavor” sounds like exactly what I was looking for. I’ve never been a fan of cola.

On that note, while I agree with Dr Pepper being better than all the others listed, it doesn’t even belong on the list as it doesn’t have the slightest hint of cola flavor.

What is a high floor low ceiling book?

MJKee9 ,

Reliably entertaining, but will never be considered a masterpiece.

TheOgreChef ,

Think of it on a scale of 1-10. High floor means it’s not a stinker, so worst ranking would be in the 4/10 - 5.5/10 range. Low ceiling means it’s not going to be an all-timer, so the best ranking would be in the 6/10 - 7.5/10 range. Basically you’ll never HATE it, but you’re also never going to LOVE it.

Rodeo ,

Seems more like a description of the author than a particular book.

nomous ,

It could be, all his stuff is extremely similar. He reuses character archetypes and narrative shifts throughout most of his stories.

Early on in his career it wasn’t as bad but he’s been churning them out for awhile.

Sanity_in_Moderation ,

I’ve never read any of his books. Top 3? Just the titles. I’ll go in blind.

TheRedSpade ,

I’ve only read two of his series but enjoyed both a good deal.

Odd Thomas (first book shares title with the series)
Frankenstein (first book is Prodigal Son)

banneryear1868 ,

Basically moved on from youth novels with both Dean Koontz and Stephen King. The Odd Thomas series was a fun read at that age.

Brandon Sanderson and Tim Patrick Rothfuss started signing each other’s books for awhile too. I read that Sanderson signs his and Rothfuss books at the airport bookstore when he’s traveling. I managed to find a few signed Sanderson books at the airport bookstore in SLC when I flew through there for a connecting flight once. I still have them on my bookshelf. No cross-signings though.

Mischala ,

Do you mean Patrick Rothfuss?

Anticorp ,

Lol, yes I do. Thank you.

Mischala ,

It’s easy to forget his name, seeing as the 3rd book is never going to be released.

Meanwhile Sanderson almost accidentally emmits books

Anticorp ,

Yes, I had to think about it for a minute before I even came up with “Tim Rothfuss”. He used to be a household name, and then he just stopped writing. Idk what his deal is, but he did say once that he’s envious of Sanderson’s writing speed. I guess it takes him a long time to write a book, and it seems like he either got burned out, or ran out of ideas. I felt like he took some ideas from Jordan in the 2nd Kingkiller book. I met him once, walking around on the floor at Emerald City Comic Con. He seems like a cool guy. He spent like an hour talking to my sister at his booth after I ran into him. It’s a shame that I think you’re right. It doesn’t look like he’ll ever finish that trilogy.

CallumWells ,

Which Jordan did he take some idea from? And is Jordan the first or last name?

Anticorp ,

Whoops! I just deleted my original reply because I thought I was replying to another conversation I’m having about Jordan and Terry Goodkind.

The author I’m referring to is Robert Jordan, author of the Wheel of Time series. The warrior culture that Kvoth goes to live & train with in the 2nd book seem to be almost a direct copy of Robert Jordan’s Aeil from the Wheel of Time series. That said, Jordan inspired a lot of writers, including Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson was able to finish Jordan’s epic 14 book story, when Jordan’s health started failing and he reached out to Sanderson to take over the project. Sanderson wrote (I think) the last 2.5 books in the series.

That’s for the very simple reason I don’t know who Dean Koontz is.
