5) Echoes from the Macabre - Daphne Du Maurier. Audiobook. 1976. A collection of masterful suspenseful short stories, including the ones that became Don't Look Now (audacious twist) and the Birds (far better than the Hitchcock film). Read with a bohemian upper class irony by a very old fashioned voice actor, this was a brilliant collection of fine story telling well read. I'm going to have to read her Rebecca, I think.

If you've never read KIng's Bag of Bones, it's directly inspired by Du Maurier, esp. Rebecca. The audio version has an extra bit with King explaining the inspiration.

I'm going to slowly read all of the King I haven't got to yet in order, with Cujo being his next one at the bottom of my to-be-read pile. I imagine I'll reach Bag of Bones around 2035, should I live.

I encourage you to be convicted a serious crime to give you the time you'll need to push thru that much King.

"I didn't think much of Silent Majority when he walked into Shawshank, grinning ear to ear, carrying a pile of books as big as himself. Seemed like a real ass hole, as a matter of fact."

Get busy reading or get busy tunneling out of jail.

A former friend of mine, a writer inspired by King, was basically on a permanent re-read of King's works. That's not all he read, of course, but as part of his habit he was regularly re-reading King's stuff in chronological order. I'm sure he's read The Shining more than three dozen times now.

6)...And It's Goodnight From Him: The Autobiography of the Two Ronnies by Ronnie Corbett. Paperback. 2007. I've never really enjoyed Corbett. I think Barker was a master, with Porridge maybe the best British sitcom of all time. Together, they're just not particularly funny, I find, though there are examples of admirable wordplay amongst the drag and blackface of 70s light entertainment. I love that world and the laid back good time stories that springs from it and even if there's considerably less sparkle than Morecambe and Wise, this was still an entertaining and amusing read. It's a shame the talented one died first, leaving Corbett to write the autobiography. What I found charming was the portrait of a mutually supportive male friendship, something you don't read about very often.

Audiobook started today. Partly a history of American germ warfare, partly a memoir of trying to construct that history against government secrecy. Plenty to be appalled by!
