Stephen King's Reading List for Writers Part II

Books Stephen King recommended for writers in afterwords of tenth anniversary edition of his book "On Writing : A Memoir of The Craft".
"As you scan this list, please remember that I'm not Oprah and this isn't my book club. These are the ones that worked for me, that's all. But you could do worse, and a good many of these might show you some new ways of doing your work. Even if they don't, they're apt to entertain you. They certainly entertained me." - S.K.
