A New Year's Miscellany from Tivoli:

Stephen King, Full Dark, No Stars (Hodder & Stoughton) 'I believe there is another man inside every man...a stranger...'

Keith Richards, Life (Weidenfeld & Nelson) 'This is my life. Believe it or not I haven't forgotten any of it'

ed. C. Egan, Clouds Thick, Wherabouts Unknown, poems by Zen monks of China (Columbia University Press) 'It's cool lying on my pillow of bean pods/Lotus Peak enters my dreaming soul'

B. Flintoff, Taonga Puoro, Singing Treasures, The musical instruments of the Maori (Craig Potton, with CD) written by the master carver and Maori instrument maker

L. Child, Worth Dying For (Bantam Press) 'Reacher is bruised and battered, and isn't thinking on sticking around...'
