Stephen King's "On Writing" Book List Updated - Page 2

"At the end of the original edition of On Writing, I listed about a hundred books which entertained and taught me. The publisher's suggested I update the list for this new edition, so here are eight-plus more – the best things I've read between 2001 and 2009. As I said in the 2000 edition of the book… you could do worse."
On Writing, 10th anniversary edition, published in 2010.
