Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis
Kingsley AmisAlex Walters@BarryHurford Funny, isn’t it? I love port but find it too strong for everyday drinking (to use the Kingsley Amis phrase). Crackers, cheese, alcohol. I understand those are the main food groups.

The Book of Forgotten Authors
Christopher FowlerAlex WaltersCurrently reading @peculiar’s wonderful Book of Forgotten Authors. Some years ago, my wife bought from Leakey’s in Inverness a book once owned by Peter Van Greenaway’s daughter. Tucked inside was a copy of a signed oath by PVG which I may sometime use as the basis of a book plot. https://t.co/pgBIZvIs5s

Collected Ghost Stories
M. R. JamesAlex Walters@DBelbin @FiveLeavesBooks I must read that. Sisson & Parker was a constant haunt of mine as a teenager in the 70s. I still have many books I bought there including a splendid old hardback copy of M R James's Collected Ghost Stories. A lovely old-school bookshop.

The Dragon Under the Hill
Paul R. PriceAlex WaltersThis is the ultimate niche post. As a teenager, I longed for a film version of Gordon Honeycombe’s wonderful novel Dragon Under the Hill with a soundtrack by Mike Oldfield. Listening to Tubular Bells 50 years on, I still think I was right.
