Team

What's the script?! Here's me, ploughing through the book club titles at a fair rate of knots, in among my other reading - seven down so far - and yet no-one else even seems to have got into our first one! three responses on the thread for I, Lucifer - pete gave us a good start, mine was a bit weak, but opened up the debate and then scott who posted to say he read it years ago, and that was it!!

come on folks, lets see what you've got to say. after all, this book was picked by concensus!

yeah you fecking slackers! Stick down some thoughts about the books or is it that you'll all mouth and no reading. I know that some of you are teenagers but you should have been taught to read by now.

What happened to all that enthusiasm when a book forum was suggested?

Either that or you'll just have to put up with Spoonie and me whittering on.


you have been warned.

Or maybe we could give ourselves a name. Team Readalot or Team Readathon sound good. Then we can get a logo designed and get tattoos like the Hellfish in the Simpsons! I'm all about getting ridiculous tattoos that mean nothing to anyone else

Ok, I'll try and sort out the list and stick the thread up for book 2 at the weekend.

To be fair everyone reads at a different pace and it seems Spoonie reads at warp speed. But I had hoped more people would have commentated on the first book by now. Especially as they voted for it!


When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? ... The New Kids! "Hi we're the New Kids and we're so good and clean-cut..." "We're so clean cut!" Seig Heil! Heil! Heil! A good clean country... Heil! Heil! Heil! Fuck that! I want my rock stars dead! I want them to fucking play with one hand and put a gun in their other fucking hand and go "I hope you enjoy the show!" *Bang!* Yes! Yes! Play from your fucking heart!

that was my thinking too. i'm reading tonnes of stuff in between these books to try and keep from reading them all now and forgetting by the time we come to comment. the only reason that i read so fast is because i have a 40min journey each day on the bus and read in bed as well. that being said, getting the one book bought and read by now is hardly unrealistic!
