I collect his books in hard back. Ill read a paperback but I always pass those on.
Any of you like him?

gosh, I've read lots of his books but for the life of me I can't remember a single title!!!  It's been awhile since I've read his books, though.
The one that I really like is one that is kind of old. IT's about a boy who has a friend that always said, "Popper" and it turns out that his friend had mental problems from post traumatic stress because he ran over his baby sister when he was young.   Do you know which one I'm talking about?
 
The other one is people who come from all sorts of places and the stories don't seem remotely related. Turns out they were all in some motel long ago and memory was erased of alien visitation or something like that.
 
As you can see, it's been a long time since I've read them!!!

I dont know the first one. Wish I knew the name so I could seek it out.
The second one I have read but the name escapes me at the moment.
I just finished the Husband. It was realy good.
Now Im reading Frankenstein. Ohhh, its going to be good. I just got into the first few pages.
I think my favs are the Odd series. I recomend them to anyone.

There was a time when I could claim that I had read everything he had published but that was years ago.  I haven't read the odd series.  Thanks for the rec, I'll add it to my ever-growing list *grin*

okay, I did a search for Dean Koontz books hoping if I scanned titles, I'd remember.
The first book is old, it is called "The Voice of the Night" from 1980. I read it a LONG time ago. I'm showing my age here.
 
The second is called Strangers 1986.
 
I also read From the Corner of His Eye 2000 last. Haven't read much since from him.  I should really catch up, he's a great author.

I love Dean Koontz also.  I have read lots of his books.  He really does a good job of keeping me reading.

I used to love Dean Koontz, because he was all mystery, but then for a turn he was writing more like Stephen King and that is one author that I just can't read.  I don't know if he switched back, but I haven't read him since then.  I'm more into the James Patterson/Jonathan Kellerman material.  I too have such an addiction that I only purchase the hardcopies anymore (which is silly because they are WAYYYYY more expensive!).

I used to read Dean Koontz once upon a time when I could actually sit down and read novels!  Wow, it's been a few years, though.
