On Writing by Stephen King (2000, Unabridged, Audio Cassette)

The cassette is read by Stephen King where he first describes his life from early childhood through becoming a prolific writer. His hardships in his childhood through college were instrumental in his development of becoming a writer. Throughout the rest of the tapes, he explains what is essential in developing your writing and gives examples from his various stories.He also warns of typical pitfalls that you should avoid. (Using too many adverbs is high on his list of don'ts) I will certainly keep this cassette to refer to from time to time and since it is read by him. Students would definitely benefit from listening to it.

This is a great way to "read" a book by hearing it. The author himself narrates it,giving it a more vivid feel when being told. Only disadvantage I can think of is it is in audio tape instead of the more popular DVD, so I can only share it with someone who still owns the "fazing out" audio tape players.
Otherwise a fantastic way to experience a book by the great storyteller himself.
