I'm reading 'I forgot to put my penis away after urinating' by Terry Pratchett.
It's AWESOME. In it, the character of death (I know!!! Death as a CHARACTER!!111!!) goes to claim his latest victim but the victim puts him off by writing books that are so toe-curlingly embarrassing, and by wearing such fucking gay hats, that death cannot face ever dealing with the cunt so he just arranges for Pestilence (how apt) to give him CRIPPLING (diagnosed) ALZHEIMERS.

OK, so you don't like Pratchett....
So what *are* you reading?

Edit : of course I could be less of a mong and actually read the rest of the thread.

Monty, a couple of months ago
you recommended a book, or possibly a series of books to me. I can't remember anything other than that it was historical fiction (I think). Have you any idea what it might have been?

They are the Shardlake novels by CJ Sansom.
They are wonderfully well-written and researched.

If you'd have been awake and I'd not been blind drunk I could have given you the lot on Saturday.

Aha, yes that's him
It's very kind of you to offer but I am even worse at returning books than I am at staying awake at parties...(again, sorry)
