Thing #9 instructed me to subscribe to a co-workers blog using my Bloglines account. So, of course I don't want to subscribe to just any old blog. I want one that is well written, lively interesting, funny, and so on and so forth. So, I began reading the blogs of my co-workers and found Planet of the Stu. It is awesome. I'll add it to my blogroll just as soon as I figure out how that is done.....
So what I learned is that I have at least one co-worker who has hidden talents and a wicked sense of humor.
Book of the Blog
Hidden River by Adrian McKinty
Mix together a poetic, smart, tragic young Irish man, a little mysticism and set the story in Denver and you have a great story. I listened to the audiobook on cd, narrated by Gerard Doyle, and the beautiful Irish accent just made the story that much better. Our hero, Alexander Lawson, 24 years old and a former police officer in Northern Ireland, was forced out of his job and is now a heroin addict. The whys and wherefores are gradually revealed as the murder of his high school girlfriend in Denver takes him out of the frying pan that is Belfast and puts him right in the fire in Denver. The author, also Irish, now lives in Colorado. He grew up in the Belfast area and is well acquainted with "the troubles".
