Stephen King recommends…

In case you haven’t been following, we’re kind of obsessed with Stephen King’s twitter feed. It’s a treasure trove of crazy genius.

You can find tweets in the third person where he refers to himself as ‘Honey Badger’.

Honey Badger don’t give a shit about Valentine’s Day. But I like it.

And some magnificent dad jokes.

The difference between an onion and a bagpipe: nobody cries when you chop up a bagpipe.

But most of all, we love it for his musings on books.

Here’s a look at some of his latest, including praise for Australia’s own Liane Moriarty!

I’m dismayed about Ruth Rendell’s stroke. I hope you guys will spare a good thought for her. Her books are simply amazing.

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, by Paula Hawkins: really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The alcoholic narrator is dead perfect.

Trivia Night is the climax of BIG LITTLE LIES, by Linda Moriarty. It’s a hell of a good book. Funny and scary. She nails the feuding moms.

Reading the last book in Carsten Stroud’s horror/suspense NICEVILLE trilogy, THE RECKONING. Out in August. Good God, what an achievement.
