[Nezumi had been mallynapped and that was kind of a dent to his pride. It was better left unknown what happened for his own sake and he'd come back a week ago, pretty banged up. But thanks to his pride, he'd hidden off somewhere. It wasn't anything life-threatening so he really hadn't needed anybody.

But now he's back and he needs to keep busy. He figures he'll read and now he's curious. Talking to people is a pain, but...]

Lucetians, a moment of your time. [He sounds pleasant for once. You catch more flies with honey and all.] What are your classics? By this question, I mean in literature. [Maybe this is too hard a question for some of the people here. Sorry, Luceti, he isn't very impressed with half of you.] Or just tell me a good novel from your world.

[Hey honey, I'm home. And he's going to act like he didn't disappear and just make his way to his room. Not saying a single word. He looks fine anyway.]

For horror or suspense, I like Stephen King. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Edgar Allen Poe for classic mystery. Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe for classic English drama, and Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, and F. Scott Fitzgerald for American literature.

[He's a little surprised by the selection she gave. Those are names from his world and he's not used to many people knowing them.]

That is quite the extensive list you gave me, though I know many of them.

[He hasn't heard of Stephen King, though. His world had changed before that.]

I will give Stephen King a try.

I recommend some of his earlier works; Cujo, Pet Semetary, Carrie, The Stand. The Dark Tower series spans a good part of his career, but consists of seven novels and can be quite the long read.

Then I will begin with that first. Why not take on the challenge?

Enjoy then. I'm not sure if the complete series is here, but I've seen some of his other books in the library.

Oh dear, let me hope that I'm not left hanging. Could I ask what your favorite of his works are?

The Dark Tower series aside, I consider The Green Mile, Pet Sematary, and The Stand my favorites.

[He's really unsure about the title of Pet Semetary but he did learn that you should never judge a book by its title.]

Then thank you very much for sharing your choices with me.
