Mood: Snotty and Confused

Has anyone read The Book With No Name by Anon?

If so, I reckon that I understood the ending except for one thing. The Bourbon Kid who is Taos' immortal son (and crazy to boot) turns up at the end on the Hubal monks' island. Are we supposed to assume that he kills Taos? If so what about that bit when he was talking to Somers/Xavier about wanting a place to die? Or has the kid's urge to die changed since Somers bit him? Is the kid a vampire now? And consequently the new dark lord?

I really hope someone can help me with this because it's driving me nuts.

Note to self-- never finish a good book while suffering from a head cold.

I've been having a worrit!

I recently started back to work after a long illness and I'm finding that I'm too exhausted to even read in the evenings and I just kind of collapse at weekends. I am still writing but only through dogged determination of will.

A lot of my friends have given up on all their dreams over the last few years. They have less and less time for anything but work and paying mortgages.

Is it inevitable? Do any of you guys know of (or are) adults who continue their creative life after 25? Or does real life just crush it, sooner or later?
