"The origin of the family, private property and the State" by Freidrich Engels. Again. Was distracted by those copies of "Over 40" and "UK Amateur Milfs".

do you think it'd be possible to be a professional MILF? i don't supposed you'd ever hear about that from career advisors.

Just finished "If You Could See Me Now" by Cecelia Ahern. Really enjoyed it, one of those books that just gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside - best way to describe it really.

If you ever had an imaginary friend as a child then you should read it.

Plan to read the new James Patterson book next before finally getting into I, Lucifer properly (keep getting distracted by another book every time I start to read it, very unlike me.)

I'm in the middle of '1984' by George Orwell at the moment. It's brilliantly clever.

Karl Pilkington is undoubtedly the funniest man on the planet (unintentionally). You should have a listen to the Podcasts he's done with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant if you haven't already done so.

The stories he tells about his upbringing are the highlights for me. I started listening to the XFM stuff they used to do a few years ago and I've been hooked since then, it's solid gold.


And I'm reading Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby JR.

I've never seen the film but I've finished the book and can honestly say that it's one of the cleverest I've read for a while. (I have been reading a lot of shit recently mind you!) Better than 'Brave New World'.

Whilst I'm on this sort of theme, I've just started 'Fahrenheit 451'. I'm almost 100 pages into it (It's less than 300 pages long) and it's just not 1984. But I'll finish it.

I've just begun "Stone Junction" by Jim Dodge. I have had it lying about for ages but didn't like the name Jim Dodge, surely nobody called Jim Dodge could write anything but muck but it's rather captivating thusfar...

Anyone read it?
