I got shit loads of Ebooks to read
All james bond, Lolita, err everything by Arthur C Clarke. Haruki marukami.. Pride Prejudice and zombies..
( Cae1, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:23, archived)

I can't read eBooks
My eyes just glaze over after a while. I prefer something more tangible like a PROPER book.
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:25, archived)

This is why I haven't read many yet.
Also I like reading outside.
I should library more..

I accidentally ate a mint leaf from my Pimm's glass

( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:31, archived)

I never got a mint leaf in mine.
I feel ripped off.

Orange, Lime, Lemon, Mint, Ice
GOOD PIMM'S ALL ROUND.

I'm already quite drunk. but I've still got half a jug to go.

This will either go very well of very poorly.

Murakami's shit, pointless
and solely exists for poseurs to display on their Fair Trade bookshelves.
( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:26, archived)

I like Murakami.
I don't have a bookshelf either. :(

Leaves me cold
and loses everything in translation, apparently.
( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:31, archived)

It will but i can't be bothered to learn Japanese.
So what option do i have but to get it translated? or not read it.
( Cae1, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:34, archived)

True
fair enough.
It's still vacuous self-obsessed shite with well designed artwork and a certain outsider cool aesthetic if it's in Swahili.

I'm reading the Jasper Fforde oeuvre
and enjoying it.

Good call
read the Eyre Affair when it was published...he's written loads since. Any good, subjectively, forum banter, great?
( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:23, archived)

Yes.

I hate reggae
and ska.

Just about anything from Jamaica.
( hanke murphy, I'm a mess, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:22, archived)

Even Jamaicans?

( Cae1, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:23, archived)

Crime & Punishment
A surprisingly AMAZING read. Took about 100 pages to get into but it's still a cracking story.
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:23, archived)

Other than that
Terry Pratchett
Stephen King
Jonathan Kellerman
James Patterson

All cracking authors.

Robert Rankin?

( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:25, archived)

I prefer Ian Rankin
I haven't read any of Robert's works yet. LOLREBUS etc.
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:27, archived)

To be honest
Kellerman/Patterson are brilliant enough to make me not want to read any other crime novellists :P
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:27, archived)

They are quite odd, lots of running jokes.

( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:28, archived)

Ian Rankin?
I've genuinely baffled myself.
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:30, archived)

Nope Robert.

( Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:32, archived)

Not sure about the in-jokes thing
I just find it to be a lovely, albeit mental, read.

Read more Russians
have a look at The Master and Margerita by Bulgakov. Honest.
( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:28, archived)

I'll get to that eventually.
If Dostoyevsky is anything to go by, Russian literature is ACE.
( Derpasaurus DOG FARTS, Sun 31 May 2009, 1:29, archived)

I read a map on my phone, as I walked along.
It was fun and exciting.

Mind you, I was excited the other day when the kitchen taps had been replaced with simple quarter turn switches.
