Reading May 2018: The Power and more

My favorite read this month was The Power by Naomi Alderman, which I gave five stars. It posits what if a power awakens in women, an innate ability to generate electric power, so that they can defend themselves and hurt other people, so that they, in just a few years, become more powerful than men? I found … Continue reading Reading May 2018: The Power and more

Reading January 2018: Hunger and Sleeping Beauties

I'm trying something a bit different this year, in hopes of keeping the blog more or less regularly updated: posting my reading recommendations at the end of each month. I will share with you my favorite reads of the month, plus other recommendations (and I'll keep the 'meh' reads to myself). My favorite two reads … Continue reading Reading January 2018: Hunger and Sleeping Beauties

Stephen King’s IT Parade: The Booklist Reader

Anybody getting excited for the new movie adaptation of IT? I am not sure it will be as good as The Gunslinger, but my hopes are high, as IT is probably the Stephen King book I have read more than any other. (Its competition is The Stand--I can't remember which one I've read more times.) I don't quite feel up … Continue reading Stephen King’s IT Parade: The Booklist Reader

Stephen King is always appropriate…

Stephen King is one of my favorite writers, so here's a little thing he wrote about Donald Trump. Here's the trailer for The Dark Tower, because we need that now. And just for fun, here are pop songs reimagined as Stephen King book covers.

What I love about Stranger Things…

If you like the kinds of books I do and you haven't been watching Stranger Things on Netflix, get thee to a television. This series constantly references Stephen King's books plus tons of great movies by John Carpenter, Steven Spielberg, and others we remember from the '80s. And it has Winona Ryder! She is the '80s for … Continue reading What I love about Stranger Things…

When The Shining first … Continue reading All Play And No Work…

A few recent links about writing and similar creative pursuits…

Stephen King asks: Can a novelist be too productive? We are all artists now, though. But if you don't click on this story, the writer doesn't get paid.
