Finished Shadowfires by Dean Koontz. This was one of his earlier works written under a pseudonym which he has rereleased. Typical fare from him and light reading but I have to say that one aspect of the book really revealed to me that I have truly been assimilated into the current culture.

SPOILER ALERT:

One key aspect of the book involves the male hero and the female heroine being separated and the hero realizing that the woman is in danger and he needs to contact her and warn her. I had the hardest time getting over mentally yelling in my head - JUST USE YOUR CELLPHONE!! Cellphones not being prevalent at the time this was written this was not an option of course.

I'm now reading Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
