    I was living in Banff in 1985 and read it there. Banff was a small snow resort and the book takes place at a small snow resort. All sorts of creatures come out in the dark and it had some frightening moments I recall. Could of been due to where I was and being 20 years old at the time.

    Have you read any Clive Cussler stuff? I keep seeing him recommended but he looks like an action-hero factory writer
    No, I haven't read any Cussler. I've seen his books in the store and have been tempted to pick one up off the shelves, but I never do.

    Same thing with the political intrigue writers Robert Ludlum, Lee Child, and Tom Clancy. I love the Jason Bourne/Jack Reacher/Jack Ryan movies, but I've never pulled the trigger on the books.

    James Rollins.

    Man I read what seemed like 25 books of his in 2016. All the same template...big macho guy who can usually shoot every weapon and drive every nautical craft made.

    And even being a modern author, his stories are full of so much dick swinging swagger I had to smile while reading them

    They literally read like The Rock adventure movies. Not sure why I absorbed so many of them.

    oh well, back to true crime searches I guess...can never get enough about Richard Chase drinking people's blood
    If you like adventure-y stuff, have you read any of James Rollins stuff? I like them.

    Well this has been a perfect day. Show and tell visit with a customer most of the last half of the day and then I try and go home and get on the interstate and my truck starts fucking up.

    At first it felt like the transmission because the truck got all jumpy and had no power. Luckily I was able to get off the next immediate exit and circle back around to the dealership where I bought it (it's really close to work). They're gonna try and look at it right away but no guarantee and it's just passed the warranty (all that's left is a powertrain warranty) and the guy that checked me in said it sounds like it might be electrical. So here I sit waiting

    Could be a coil.

    Or they just remotely flipped the "out of warranty" switch to start recouping the money they lost on warranty work.

    Damn out-of-warranty switches. We really need to figure out how to identify those devices.

    That sucks lance.

    For real though on the warranty My Dad bought a new car a few years back, german brand known to have electrical issues when they get a tiny bit older. Our long-time family mechanic told us dead-pan: "make that thing disappear before the warranty is up"
