True, he is everywhere and can be a bit of a knob, but I like the fact that he's quite content just sitting around making cheese.

Yeah, I suppose most cheese makers take a video diary as being part of the job:

Alex James: the cheese diaries, episode 1 | Word of Mouth | Guardian Unlimited

just read 'the road' by cormac (someone) was quite good but a little depressing.

also finished 'direct action' a book set in aberdeen that my mum gave me - she said it was too dirty for her! lol it was very easy to read and quite entertaining. proabably due to being set in aberdeen

1) kerouac does not suck, he is the shiz...as it were
2) that'd be cormac mcarthy...of "no country for old men" fame
3) i am busy reading this funny/tragic/romantic/sweet memoir by a rolling stone journalist called "love is a mix tape" and it's well worth a read, however i am also ploughing through charlie brooker's "dawn of the dumb"...i love charlie brooker, his hatred and loathing makes me laugh so hard my testicles hurt!

These past few weeks I've read:

No Country For Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
Oil! by Upton Sinclair
The Steep Approach To Garbadale by Iain Banks
Flesh House by Stuart MacBride

I'm now in a bit of a Rebus mood so I've gone back to Knots and Crosses and going to read the entire Rebus back catalogue

[euanisacowboykiller]

I've been reading:
Lermontov - A Hero Of Our Time
Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot

and J.R. Hartley's 'Fly Fishing'.

I just read Sunset Song for the first time the other day. Had to push a bit through the first half, but overall it's a pretty classy book, and I'm proud that it came from this part of the globe.
