I've been reading and Evans

[tinhuvielartanis]

I'm not feeling the Internet like I used to and there's really nothing to report here, so I've been reading the books the Mother Unit has been sending me. We are so much alike when it come to taste in reading, it's not even funny. I'm humbled really that genetics can have such an effect on people and simple things like reading preferences can be passed along with such precision. Right now I'm reading a book called The Resort by Bentley Little. It's an eerie little tale, sort of like The Shining meets that creepy crawly feeling you get when you have to go to bed in the middle of the night. I started reading it yesterday and will probably finish it tomorrow.

In other news, my male cousin announced yesterday that his wife is pregnant. It's hard to believe that Little Michael is finally gonna have a kid. This time, I hope it's a boy, 'cos Michael is the only one in our family who can carry on the name. I don't want the Evans name to die out. I'm proud of being an Evans and I want the name to continue on through history, or at least until 2012. Next Christmas should be interesting with a new bebbeh with which to celebrate. Whatever the gender, it'd be nice if they'd let me name the kid. If it were a boy, I'd name it Gabriel Sebastian and, if it were a girl, Licit Anastasia. The kid will probably get something pedestrian like Luke. Not that I don't like that name.

I read a few of Bentley Little's short stories when I was a brave little teenager who had grown bored with RL Stein and Christopher Pike. Note that I said "a few". I haven't picked up anything of his since, but the one you mentioned sounds intriguing. THE SHINING is one of my favorite Stephen King novels.

lol at "pedestrian," aka "whatever names were in the top ten list for the last 5 years."
