I know everyone ‘loves to hate’ Ikea. But you know what? They have a lot of great stuff. I still have the bed I bought there 20 or 25 years ago, and it’s still fine. (But I no longer sleep on it.)

Reports are that his relatives will assemble his coffin.

Hopefully it doesn’t fall apart before it gets into the ground.

Will _The Turning Of The Screw_ be the title of his biography?
