This Monday, Bluesman Mike sent "GATEWAYS" to me, and I just got it now.(Thanks a lot, Bluesman Mike)

This time, it's hardcover! Wow! This is so cool! Now I'm still reading The HAUNTED AIR, so I must speed up the pace of reading the book. I heard everybody say "GATEWAY is best". But FPW's books are all best. Is that right, Mike?

Well anyway, I can't wait for GATEWAYS. I feel like a Gateway is open and awaiting for me.

I understand your thrill of anticipation Kenji, but don't rush The Haunted Air. Take your time and enjoy it. Gateways will still be there.

A few days ago, I started reading GATEWAYS.

Hmmmm......this is pretty cool. On the cover, New York Daily News said, "Call a plumber when the sink is logged, the cop when you've been robbed, but when the you-know-what hits the fun, it's time to call Repairman Jack." I liked it!

...............Some spoilers...................





At first, it started very quietly, but sudden gun shot. Chaper 1 reminded me of 007's opening scene. Wow, this is great!

And, in the chapter 2, a man who hasn't true name appeared...who is this? Sounds mysterious.

Jack's father's accident, call from Tom, go on and go on....and, who is Semelee? She is also mysterious....

.........................................................


Well, I must go back to reading!

I just noticed one thing while I'm reading Gateways. At 102 pages, I read this line.

This isn't a Robin Cook novel. This is real life.

When I'm reading this line, I was in train. I struggled to stop the laugh.


I guessed Paul dislike Robin Cook. Cause is as a doctor? Or as a writer? Or shouldn't I mention it...?

I think maybe Paul was just having a little fun.

Yeah, that's true. It's fun.

Yeah, that's true. It's fun.

Another thing, Kenji--=never= surpress a laugh. The latest research shows surpressed laughs back up in your hippocampus and make your head explode! :eek:

This is the first time I've seen your photo Kenji. It's nice to connect a face with the name, as I feel we are old friends.

This is true. In the original "Scanners" they told the guy in scanner demo scene to think if something funny (they exposed him to 100 hours of the "i love lucy" show interspersed with random episodes of "The Honeymooners" prior to his scene). but to hold back (or suppress, in the venacular of the movie industry) his laugh. The results were dramatic. If you've ever seen this in slo-mo with an Infrared filter, the departure of the, for the sake of argument, the energy burst believed to be the soul is absolutely breathtaking!

Aside from the Russian guy dying from rabies in 1906, this is the only other actual recorded death on film. The unwitting participant was paid scale as an extra for his work on "Scanners" which worked out to be $23.98 before taxes.

I could suppress a laugh while watching 100 hours of I Love Lucy ..... easily.
