Later. A young man recounts his life and his gift of seeing and conversing with dead people. Not Stephen King's best.
A Case of Need. Written by Michael Crichton before he became an international best selling author. He uses his medical background to tell the story of a doctor trying to help his friend who has been accused of performing an abortion that resulted in the death of a young woman. Loaded with so much medical jargon that there are end notes at the conclusion of each chapter to explain the terminology. Would you believe a doctor would investigate this? Not really.
Watcher Girl. Another book with an unbelievable premise: a young woman returns to her home town to apologize to an old boyfriend for breaking up with him years ago despite the fact that said boyfriend is how happily married and a father.
The Secret Lives of Colors. The author discusses white, pink, yellow, red, blue, green, brown, purple and black and their various shades. We see and learn about each shade, including anecdotes about how it was discovered, mixed, used, named. Fascinating.
