4 Books by Lily King
Every once in a while, you discover a writer that completely knocks your socks off and a brand new obsession is born. For the past couple of weeks, Lily King has been that writer for me. I have devoured 4 of her books (one of them twice) in the past 2 weeks and I am […]

The Talisman, The Eyes of the Dragon, Thinner
The Talisman (1984) This novel is a collaboration between Stephen King and Peter Straub. The book was hitly anticipated when releases, as both were well-known horror authors on their own. The result is a good, but perhaps not great novel. The premise is solid. The plot follows 12 year old Jack Sawyer as he sets […]

Rolling Stone Top 500: #s 430-425
430) Elvis Costello, My Aim Is True This is Costello’s debut album. He certainly didn’t take long to establish himself as one of rock n roll’s most gifted songwriters. Always clever with his phrasing, Costello presents some excellent lyrical work here. The music is a mixture of all sorts of influences, you can hear the […]

Circe and The Song of Achilles
Taking periodic breaks from marathoning through Stephen King’s bibliography has proven necessary. After reading the brilliant A Thousand Ships last week, the same friend that turned me on to that book was kind enough to lend me two more retellings of stories from ancient Greece. The books were Circe and The Song of Achilles, both […]

Christine, Pet Semetary, Cycle of the Werewolf
Christine (1983) This was a fun read. I saw the film version as a kid and enjoyed it (still do), but I had never read the book before now. The plot centers around a nerdy teen named Arnie and the title character, his car–a 1958 Plymouth Fury. After purchasing the car, Arnie’s appearance and personality […]

Rolling Stone Top 500: #s 435-431
435) Pet Shop Boys, Actually This is the 2nd album from the duo and it is fun. This is pure late-80s electro dance pop. It is fun to listen to and Neil Tennant is a fantastic lyricist. The production holds up, this one feels as fresh now as in 1989. If you listen to one […]

Rolling Stone Top 500: #s 440-436
440) Loretta Lynn, Coal Miner’s Daughter This is a solid, no-frills country album, full of the kind of music that modern country music just doesn’t sound like. Loretta Lynn has a great voice and is a really solid songwriter. This was her 16th album and it contains the title track that would be her trademark […]

A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes
After reading 15 Stephen King books in a row, I wanted something different. A friend at work recommended this one, and I absolutely loved it. I devoured it in less than 24 hours, and frankly I want to turn right back to the first page and read it again. The book recounts the events of […]
