Last two....
I saw that Ron Paul book in a dingy book shop earlier this year in another state and couldn't pass picking it up for the few quarters it was because I knew it would be humorous. It just looked liked somebody printed off their computer or something and slapped on a cover. I finally got around to reading it. It's supposed to be a serious book, but it's absolutely hilarious.
Looks like it's online too actually if you're ever bored and need a laugh:

Next in line on my Kindle. Well, after the 3 I am working on at the moment.
I love stephen king so I figured I would like dean koonz.
I read a book of his called Tick Tock and it was one of the worst ever and turned me off to his books.
Maybe I will have to give him a second chance

Tick tock is a very poor example of Koontz. It was in a phase when he was toying with aliens and the supernatural, which he does much better in later works. One just as bad was Winter Moon. In the 80's and 90's his agent and publisher wanted to pigeonhole him in horror, as he writes suspense very well, and he complied so to speak for a while. Then he finally sold enough that he could pick and choose where his career went. If you are new to Koontz start with one of these:
Watchers
Life Expectancy
Intensity
False Memory
From the Corner of his Eye
Sole Survivor
You can also start with Odd Thomas novels, the first being "Odd Thomas". And the he did a rewrite of Frankenstein that is pretty well done. It starts with "Prodigal Son".

I like Koontz. But not a huge fan of his Odd series. I loved Intensity and Relentless though his 2 best of the 30 or so I've read of his.

King and Koontz are almost nothing alike. I like both and read both, but don't think they have much in common as far as writing style goes.
I know you know what it means, but just for clarification, it isn't a 'deep' book. It's simple, but I found it highly effective.
