Salon has an excellent interview with Stephen King about the 30th anniversary of the release of The Stand and some details on his new collection of short stories.

I remember reading The Stand in 1979 when I was about 13 and really getting freaked out by it. I did a paper on King that year for 8th grade Language Arts that tied in The Stand, The Dead Zone, and Carrie.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Tony Hillerman died [link]

Sad now.

His autobiography, Seldom Disappointed, is fascinating. His mother drove by herself in the Oklahoma land rush.

Reimagined book covers. I'm very fond of the two Cormac McCarthy covers.

The Necronomicon made me laugh and laugh.

As did, of course, A Confederacy of Dunces.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Sad to hear about Tony Hillerman.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I always had a soft spot for The Halloween Tree, but it's been ages since I read it.
