RULES

"When cats go BAD!"

yeah, good so far.

i gave up on Winter In Madrid. Anyone care to encourage me to give it another go? Does it get less dreary?

and will probably start 'The Unbearable Lightness Of Being' over the weekend

Don't tell anyone, but I think Harold Wilson's about to devalue the pound.

by Michael Chabon.

A story about two cousins, one from Czechoslovakia and one from New York, who write a comic in th 1940s that becomes huge.

It's really good and full of nice geeky comic book references :)

a gift from my recent bday.

its very funny, and incredibly rude.
i just started stump, by some cunt who cant write for shit - ive panned it after 3pages

Lord Alan-Brooke's war diaries...

by Jamie Hernandez. I'm not enjoying it as much as Gilbert's works so far.

Slaughterhouse Five

Just finished Boy A having had it for ages, saw the TV adaptation was getting a lot of notice so gave it a go. Is pretty good, does anyone know if the TV version does it justice?

because i'm now going to be an English teacher and can't rely on Cliffnotes any more

Not too sure about it, a bit too much like an obvious film at the moment.

Previously read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, which was good - and is soon to be at cinemas with Viggo Mortensen.

and the God Delusion.
they're both pretty interesting.

it was £1 in oxfam bookshop and i have nothing else to read.

Rip it up and start again, Pies and Prejudice, New Vistas in Psychology and Don Quixote.

midnight's children (which took me absolutely forever even though it was quite excellent; i need to start reading faster). now i am reading the human stain by philip roth. i'm a few pages in and already there has been a reference to salman rushdie, which is one of those odd coincidences that i enjoy a lot because i'm weird.

just past halfway through.

Is ace.

Anyway... I'm reading Once, a kid's book about the Holocaust. It's a bit lightweight, but a girl I like recommended it to me so I thought I'd read it. 's OK

And I'm also reading The Religion by Tim Wollocks. Nothing too substantial, but I love that historical-fiction bollocks so it's right up my street.

by david nicholls. its really funny and reminds me a lot of myself, given that he is from southend and is in his first year of uni

Futuristic.

I'm in two minds about it right now though, read 100 pages so far and I can appreciate that it turns conventional narratives and character development on it's head but I'm not sure if it actually achieves anything by doing this and strikes me as a bit self important and pretentious. Prior to that I re-read (for the third time) White Noise by Don DeLillo which I love so much.

Read it ages go but luckily I remember very little of it. s'good.

I love it. CATSBY. Has anyone else read it? Although it is absolutely crazy sometimes.

but over the summer, lots of political/philosophy stuff.

His autobiography.

Aleksandar Zograf Regards from Serbia
A cartoonists diary of life during the '90s under sanctions and NATO bombing.

by Jane Austen. it's my reading book in school at the moment. I hated Pride and Prejudice, but this is good. Fuck the Haters.

Exams are no fun.

maybe i should get off the internet and read it?

by Douglas Coupland. far more interesting than reading about how visual illusions can provide information about normal vision which i really should be reading about. bloody exams!

by Kazuo Ishiguro. It is a goooood book. RECOMMENDED.
