Winter Hibernation: Reading Pile #1

Here is a list of books I plan to read while we're snowed in this winter. The subtitle of this entry (Pile #1) is not superfluous, as there is another pile of magazines and pulp-related stuff I also intend to get through, and will list here at a future date. Reviews of what I've read will be added to this blog, or to  The Eclectic Screening Room, if I ever get that thing started again.

The list (in no particular order):
Curtis Harrington: Nice Guys Don't Work in Hollywood
John Szpunar: Xerox Ferox- The Wild World of the Horror Film Fanzine
André Bazin: The Cinema of Cruelty
Peter Rainer: Rainer on Film
Michael Helms: Fatal Visions- The Wonder Years
Peter Biskind: My Lunches With Orson- Conversations Between Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles
James M. Cain: The Cocktail Waitress
John Hamilton: Beasts in the Cellar- The Exploitation Film Career of Tony Tenser
