I am reading a very interesting and fun book about differences between men and women. It is written by Barbara and Allan Pease. The name of the book  is "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps. How we're different and what to do about it". Everyone who wants to have a happy relationship with the opposite sex should read it. Although it is based on scientific research, male and female brain studies, evolutionary biology, psychology, and sociology, it is easy and fun to read. "Have you ever wished your partner came with an instruction booklet?", ask the authors. This book is as close to an instruction manual to the opposite sex as you can get. It has tons of funny stories, great jokes, and helps you understand some strange, misteriuos and at times annoying things that your partner does. "Learning each other's secrets means you may never have to say sorry again". Understanding each other and embracing the differences can lead to a long, happy relationship.

I just started reading a book "The Good Guy" by my favorite writer Dean Koonz. I do not want to spoil the fun for the rest of you by telling what the book is about, but it is a page turner. I simply can not put it down. I found this great introduction on the inside cover of the book that sums it up better than I ever could:

"From the electifying openings of his novels to their unforgettable conclusions, Dean Koontz draws readers into complex and fascinating worlds of suspense and wonder. His latest novel weaves the timeless themes for which he is acclaimed into a breathtaking tale of an ordinary man pushed to the limit, in the ultimate battle against an adversary whose malice knows no bounds..."

If you like a good suspense thriller with many twists and turns  - this one's for you!
