I'm trying to read Narrow Dog to Carcassone,
it's about a retired couple on a narrowboat who decide to try and cross the channel. I really want to read it but the way the guy writes is just absolutely dreadful. He doesn't use speech marks so it's all he said this and then I said this, blah blah says I to him. It's like wading through tar.

I've kind of got into it now
When I first started it I wasn't really concentrating so I kept having to re-read bits and then I got annoyed, but now I'm quite enjoying it. I've been given the sequel, Narrow Dog to Indian River, as well.

I do think the guy thinks he's a bit funnier than he is though and so far when he's tried to be stoic and moving it hasn't really come across very well, but I'm going to keep going with it!

Irony

My general knowledge was that the angels were staying with Lot
and all the men from Sodom came out and demanded they come out so they could all bugger them, so Lot offered them his daughters instead.

Hence the buggery reference.

(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Thu 25 Nov 2010, 14:37, Reply)
The men of Sodom asked for the angels to come out
not so that they could rape them just to offer violence, and be a bit nosy. The city was destroyed not just because of that, but becauses those same people had refused shelter to the angels earlier.

I understand you're not interested, but I'm still fucking giving you the information anyway
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 25 Nov 2010, 14:37, Reply)

But if the did want to "know them"
then I can't imagine the angels being very happy about it, which makes them as rapey as Chompy. FACT!

I'm afraid you've lost Al :)
it happens to the best.

Sodom may have partially been destroyed because of the rapiness of their inhabitants, but not because they threatened to rape angels. Otherwise there's an odd dearth of sources between 0th century- 9th century that associates Sodom with gayness

(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 25 Nov 2010, 14:38, Reply)
it's where the word Sodomy comes from yeah
but sodomy as a concept wasn't defined until well into the Middle Ages, and has basically been a catchall term for 'perversion' for a long long time. Lesbianism in the middle ages was sodomy, as was occasionally adulterous sex etc

I have plodded through some pretty dire books in my time (e.g. The Cloud Atlas), but where is the enjoyment in reading Kafka?

It's less about hidden depths
and more about taking him as a whole. Each of the stories makes perfect dark sense if you envisage it within a world of Kafka's creation, rather than within our own beliefs and world
