"R McCammon suggested books: Boy's Lfe, Swan Song, Blue World, They Thirst, Mine, The Wolf's Hour. And many short stories."
"Book: Homicide. A year on the Killing Streets by David Simon. Perhaps one of the top True Crime books of all time. Brisk, "unputdownable"."

"Book of the Day: HITCHCOCK: A DEFINITIVE STUDY OF ALFRED HITCHCOCK by Francois Truffaut. The best film book you'll ever read."
"Book: L'Homme qui rit, The Man Who Laughs (or By Order of the King) by Victor Hugo. Poignant, profound and tragic. One of my top ten."
"Book: Bakakai by Witold Gombrowicz. Strange- often disquieting- tales of human nature. Absurdist, fantastic and always memorable."
"With perfect- PERFECT dialogue straight from Higgins book. And Peter Boyle as a snake in the grassβ¦ there- now thatβs it, Larry!"
"Book: The Vampire, his Kit and Kin by Montague Summers. One of the most engrossing books ever written on vampiric anthropology. Fundamental"
