Looking at some peoples fancy #nowReading posts and the last couple of books I’ve read have been Stephen King books and not really even the classic or good ones.

It’s for a podcast, I say defensively…. (A podcast I am listening to, not a podcast I am on. It’s a good one though! This is… um, cultural history)

The end of this book is very satisfyingly violent. #tommyknockers
