Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

This may have been the first Stephen King book I've read that I thought was too short! Gwendy's Button Box is a nice short novella about a young girl, Gwendy, that is given a magical box by another incarnation of RF. Will the box corrupt her? Destroy her life? Maybe because it is a collaboration the ending here is completely satisfying. Let's say it gets a B+.

Mystery Book # 67 - Stick by Elmore Leonard

Wow... almost two months between entries. See this is what happens when I decide that the next book I'm going to read is something that is super long and generally considered a difficult and not fun read (Ulysses). So instead of reading that specific book I find ways to procrastinate. First I started using my small window of free time each day to watch television instead of read...(Westworld! Check it out!). Then I put holds on library books (like Stick) and figured I'd have to read Ulysses after those... So someday I'll start Ulysses... just not yet.

Anyway, Stick is pretty much what I expected from an Elmore Leonard book... a likable criminal type gets in trouble with unlikable more criminal types and finds a way to scam their way out of a jam. I enjoyed it but the details are already evaporating out of my memory. Maybe I'll watch the movie version from 1985, it looks like it has a good cast but then I won't have time for Ulysses. B
