Portnoy's Complaint
Philip Roth
@Poeticauthor535 Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth. From 1969, and some of the racial and sexual content would nooooooot fly today, but I read it in the context of its time and with the understanding that the narrator is a head case.

The Running Man
Stephen King
@SuzanneCasament Seeing people with word counts like that does get to me sometimes, but then again no book ever became a classic because the author wrote 5,000 words a day. The only book that I know the writing pace of is Stephen King’s The Running Man, in 72 hrs, on who knows how much cocaine.

Cabal
Clive Barker
Watching Nightbreed: The Director’s Cut on #Shudder. Not sure I’ll subscribe for long, but I’ve got about ten movies in my queue to watch before I cancel. I’m in a Clive Barker mood, and I remember being underwhelmed by the original cut after loving Cabal, the novella. https://t.co/ypEn6fhiTA

One
William Morris
I actually have many agents pursuing me. It’s just that I have a certain set of skills and dispatch them all quite efficiently. Last one from William Morris put up a pretty good fight, almost forced me to sign a contract, but I stuck the pen in his eye & kicked him off the roof.

Dune
Frank Herbert
I love how Frank Herbert came into the Age of Asimov and said no, AI will become such a menace we will have to destroy it and ban it forever. Probably not the first, but embedding it in the background of Dune’s worldbuilding was genius. https://t.co/WAZ6N9sHO0

White Noise: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Don Delillo

Mid-Journey: An Unfinished Autobiography
Nicholas Rescher
I see the AI art debate. My book cover was done with #Midjourney, albeit after hours of attempts to get what I wanted. But I am one self-published author who has mostly given my book away for free so far, and am about $700 in the red on it. I expect more of trad publishing.

Wolf in White Van
John Darnielle
Ha! John Darnielle gets a small role in Poker Face because he’s buddies with Rian Johnson, who directed his video, “Woke Up New,” the only Mountain Goats song I can stand;) John is a fine, fine novelist though. Wolf in White Van inspired me to begin my first novel. Good guy. https://t.co/99tYFA6jr3

The Way of Kings: Book One of the Stormlight Archive
Brandon Sanderson
@Poeticauthor535 I’m a few hundred pages into The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Couldn’t be more different, I can say that much.
