I Finished Reading John Saul's "Black Lightning"! Let's Talk about Books! (Ulog Day 44)

in #ulog7 years ago


Finally, I finished reading John Saul's "Black Lightning" before I got up from bed this morning. It was indeed a great read and I just got to love John Saul even more!

And here I thought it was plain Psychological, but I was slightly wrong. There was a supernatural twist to the story and I just love it to bits! This is just the third John Saul I've read so far. The first ever John Saul book I read way back in high school was entitled "The Unloved".

In terms of novels, I prefer thriller, psychological, supernatural, horror and grotesque ones. These stuff make my blood boil with great excitement that I just can't help myself from turning one page to another. And John Saul is one of the others that I really admire.

The second John Saul book I've read was "Shadows". It was pretty awesome as well. He writes really detailed scenes that even upon reading the lines, you can immediately imagine what was happening. Ohh~ I miss my "Shadows" book... my friend borrowed it and it was never returned.

I have another John Saul book called "Creature" but I couldn't find it anywhere. huhuhu~ I'll try to check my parents' room It might be there somewhere. However, I found another John Saul book on my shelf.

The book on the left entitled "Nightshade" is next on my list. I wonder what kind of excitement this book will let me experience. I can't wait for night time to come. <3 I usually read some chapters before sleeping and it helps me relax. The irony of reading suspense-thrillers! They're pretty relaxing to read for me. hahahaha~

Well, Aside from John Saul, I enjoy the mystery-suspense books of Michael Connelly as well. I've only read his "The Poet" and I totally love his way of telling the story. On my shelf, I got two other Michael Connelly books which I'll be reading in the future. Ohh~ I've got two Stephen King books lined up as well and 4 other books from various authors of similar genre.

To be honest, these books have been lying around my room for years now but there are just times when I don't feel like reading at all. However, when I go to some bookshops which are giving huge discounts for books, I usually buy. Some books I have now were bought a few years back. Black Lightning, I bought it like 2 years ago. hahahha~

Well, I just had the urge to read every book I have here before I go to the land of the rising sun some time next year. <3 Ohh~ before I forget, I also have a "Higashino Keigo" book here which is entirely in Japanese which my student gave me 4 years ago. Guess what? I still couldn't read it. hahahaha~ If only it has Furigana... but I'll do my best to continue studying the language because I'm more than excited to read his books. He writes stuff similar to John Saul, so I'm sure I'll love it!

Ohh well. Thank you for dropping by my dear Uloggers and Steemians. Have an amazing day! ;)

Sort:  

I've not heard of him, maybe I'll buy one of his books

You may check his website here --> http://www.johnsaul.com/books.html for the list of his books and their synopsis... He's not very well known, but I've loved his book ever since I first read it more than 10 years ago.. ^^ He hasn't written much these days anymore since he's already in his 70s... hihihi but still a writer I admire! ^^

I thought it was about the superhero Black Lightning. 😋

Ahahahaha~ sorry that it wasn't... ;P
