"Like a dog circling three times before lying down, people had to talk for a while before saying anything."

Without interrupting the buzz of her vacuum cleaner, the concierge cast an ironic glance at him.

It's raining the next two days. Perfect time for Simenon!

"That chill in my neck seeped into my mind when she said it."

Wagners writing style for Christine is really irritating. She journals and writes in small chunks.
"God. He's fast. TOO fast. More later."

This is so weird and intentionally dull looking.
Gotta take a break.

Finally going to dive in! ... I can't even remember what issuss I read.

Wow Jerry Ordway's inking really weakens Byrnes art.

Don't feel like updating the single issues... currently finished 13. Hmm. Hulk destroys his father (again?)

"I am thinking about how each storm eats away a little bit more of the everything they've got."

Just saw One Way Passage.... I am hooked!

Just re-read issue 9 three times in a row. It was the first issue of ToD that I got, 25-30 years ago. I think Marv Wolfman is the third writer at this point, but the characters are really starting to develop nicely, especially Dracula. Did he really just show ... compassion? Or was it some devious planning? Can't wait to continue.

I stopped halfway and when I resumed, I had forgotten who the narrator was....! Must re-read.

"Parker spent two weeks on the white sand beach at Biloxi, and on a white sandy bitch named Belle, but he was restless..."

Haven't decided if I want to read online annotations, like I did for the last AM book Providence.

One of the oldest books on my shelf, bought around college. I was obsessed with HE and even subscribed to his newsletters for awhile!... I was really turned off by the last book of his I read and am doubtful that I'll like this (can't remember it. He just seemed like a crank. And the font was like 6 point.) 1000+ pages? Alright, let's go!

Just saw the movie yesterday and the soundtrack has been in my head all day. A great scene is in the first chapter already.
