It is a proud day, as I received my contributor’s copy of READING STEPHEN KING, edited by the unstoppable Brian James Freeman. Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this amazing book about a hero of mine, Stephen King. Limited Edition signed copies available from Cemetery Dance Publications.

Being a book guy who recently rediscovered his love of #magicthegathering I found this MtG Official Encyclopedia from @carltonbooks which I sold way back when I worked for the #sfbc before the internet became a trove of MtG reference. #MtGoldschool

Really enjoying THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS, a novel set in 1987, it's like flashback city to my youth, with slightly more early programming. @simonandschuster #booklife #alwaysbegaming

My 2017 reading has begun. It's not "The Philosophy of..." but I'm really excited to start James Gleick's TIME TRAVEL: A History. @pantheonbooks #amreading #timetravel

One of my bookshelves at home. Addmittedly, I've only read about half of these, my first #2017goal is to read the rest. #toberead #thebooksonmyshelves
