fugitive Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 is he that devil worshipping fruit loop that hung about with Jimmy page?Not quite - Crowley died in 1947 !Page was associated with him because he bought a house that had belonged to Crowley where a lot of mysterious goings on allegedly occurred. Somewhere around Loch Ness wasn't it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluesxman Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have just finished 'The World Of Karl Pilkington' which is transcribes of the Podcasts he did with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Very funny I thought.I am now reading 'The Story Of Crass' by George Berger. I used to listen to Crass a lot in my younger days and still do on occasion but when I was a lad they were a bit mysterious and I actually knew very little about them, so I was interested to find out more.

Alan Cynic Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 whassatallaboutalan? is it got dirty bits?, they is my favourite bit of word bundles.sassa meeerkat gubbins!It's about a female prosecutor(which the author used to be in real life) and her struggles with a case involving a teenage prostitute being severely assaulted. No dirty bits as yet, but I'll keep you posted:up: Next on the list will be the biography of Charlie Patton, 'King of the Delta blues'.

Stripey Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I'm reading "London Fields" by Martin Amis. It's really good, it reminds me of Will Self's "My Idea of Fun" in that there is a sense (half way through it) that there is some larger conspiracy or event unfolding which you just gradually begin to understand, after initially being lulled into thinking you know where it's all going. Amis is really funny aswell, he's an excellent and deeply perceptive satirist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer_eldritch Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 is he that devil worshipping fruit loop that hung about with Jimmy page?He was a bit of a fruit loop, but more so a jester whom everyone took a bit too seriously.He had a lot of interesting and great things to say, but I believe he lost his way shortly after he left Boleskine House. Went a bit mad and became a bit of a megalomaniac. . .Another great book i've been meaning to re-read is "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" by Philip K. Dick - the book which went on to inspire Blade Runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Just finished Orwell's 'Down and out in Paris and London'. Features what must be the best account of working in a kitchen that you can ever read.Tried reading 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley but now finding his short stories much more captivating, if a little pretentious in places.

Jim Stax Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 A'Chuck Palahniuck' 'LULLABYAuthor of 'Fight Club' and always a good read. None of his others have quite matched 'Fight Club' though but it was a doozy.Recently read 'Time Travellers Wife'. Ingenius and loved it!Have been ploughing away at Michel Foucault's 'Madness and Civilisation' but get distracted easily with work literature and Music Industry bumff. You know, It's one of those books that looks good on the table beside your coffee...I like this end of Aberdeen-Music a lot! :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woombler Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Am getting back into James Patterson, just away to read 'Mary, Mary'. Read 'Violets are Blue' last week, really quite good. I must say tho, am getting quite excited about the thought of the last Harry Potter book tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 'The World We're In' by Will Hutton which thus far is nothing i havent read before.' The Hard Sell' by John Bone which is an ethnographic study of the direct selling industry. Closest thing i can compare it to is the film glengarry glen ross or boiler room. Although if anyones worked as a telecanvasser for kitchen, windows or mortgage companies you'll know what i mean.'Willing Slaves' by madeline bunting, describes britains overwork culture. Interesting and well informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
