Sue Denim.. Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 I'm working my way through "The Ultramarines" omnibus by Graham McNeill. In preparation for the Games Workshop inspired movie coming out sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Started The Prison House by John King. Not really enjoying it much but will give it some more time.Gave up on this and started Blast from the Past by Ben Elton. You can say what you like about his general punchableness and involvment in (presumably) shite musical theatre. He still writes a ripping yarn which, while a generally light read, can also be quite thought provoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Paul Auster - InvisibleTicked all the boxes that makes me like his work. Not as great as the new york trilogy or book of illusions, but a very good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I just started "Alex Cross's Trial" by James Patterson. Impulse buy in Asda. Didn't think I was going to like it from the first few pages, but it's actually quite compelling once you get into it. It's about a lawyer in the Deep South in the early 1900s trying to take down the KKK. Seemingly it's the 15th installment in the series, but it's the first one I've read.

girl anachronism Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'm around halfway through "Three Men In A Boat" by Jerome K Jerome. Utterly hilarious. Has genuinely made me laugh out loud, several times, often in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very different but interesting. Did you meet him in Aberdeen? It annoys me when people think his stuff is all staged.

It annoys me when people think his stuff is all staged. Also, (any excuse to post that, I do apologise)I actually met him in Edinburgh! And that infuriates me too! The pic I have of me and him is slightly embarrassing because it looks like I'm lurking behind him smiling, when in actually he turned away from the camera at flash-point to sign my wee sis' programme.Cunt.

kirsten Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Did he have to read from a script about how he's responsible for the Western world's evils?No, that's just a still, admittedly a rather dull one, from the erotic film I forced him to make when he was locked in my basement for that one month... I actually met him in Edinburgh! And that infuriates me too! The pic I have of me and him is slightly embarrassing because it looks like I'm lurking behind him smiling, when in actually he turned away from the camera at flash-point to sign my wee sis' programme.Cunt.I wish to see this picture. Photos where one person looks away are great.On topic: I started my third attempt at reading the Master and Margarita the other day and I'm already doing way better than I ever have with it before. It's so good. Bulgakov's the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsinho Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 I reread Mostly Harmless by Douglas Adams on Monday. It's a lot more bleak in tone compared to the rest of the Hitch-Hikers series but I liked it all the same and there were plenty of times where I had to stifle my laughter while on the train up from London. Super book(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway again. Proper love this book, I do.I read The Corrections while on holiday. Absolutely fantastic book, but not exactly the kinda thing I'd recommend for holiday reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Yes, The Sun Also Rises is probably my favourite of Hemingway's novels. I haven't read much besides poetry lately. Alice Oswald is my new favourite. Reading her and Kathleen Jamie make me wonder why I bother sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Gonna start John Ajvide Lindqvist's 'Handling The Undead'. Read 'Let The Right One In' a while back and thought it was pretty astounding, so here's hoping this is too. I like the bit in the blurb that says, "David always knew his wife was far too good for him. But he never knew how lost he'd be without her until tonight when her car hit an elk."
