I think my head is about to explode.
I'm reading a paper that keeps rambling on about 5 dimensional pluecker space. It hurts.

paper shite Sci-Fi novel inspired by Lovecraft.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 10:48, archived)

Lovecraft = horror sci-fi god.
The Colour Out of Space is fantastic. Without him there would have been no 'Who goes there?' or 'The Thing'. Genius.

Produced some great work,
but very much a less is more sort, I think.

[5 pages of dramatic build up to the terrifying conclusion]
Something happened that was so terrible, I dare not set it down in words.

The End.

Thanks for that
I won't have to read it now.

/may read it one day

"Cool Air" (I think, about a man who is melting)
is very good. Lovecraft's certainly worth a look, even though much of his work has dated to the point where it isn't even remotely scary.

'At the mountains of madness'
still r00x0rs my s0xors or whatever it is the cool kids say these days.

Gah,
What is it about horror that seems to attract all the "1337-kidz"?

I much prefer some Murakami or Brookmyre or Mankell. To name but a few...
( The Teviot Moose major 5th., Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:29, archived)

Read 'The Wind-up bird chronicles'
which I loved, 'Hard-boiled wonderland' is in the pile of books next to my bed that I need to get round to reading.
( Lonewolf - O R'lyeh? Ya R'lyeh!, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:32, archived)

Wild Sheep Chase is fantastic too :D

We already know about your weekend activities,
what about books though?

Pfft.
Also I'm rather keen on Yukio Mishima for trad Jap Lit, any other Jap Lit recommendations gratefully accepted :D
( The Teviot Moose major 5th., Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:42, archived)

I'm reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles on the recommendation of Fenris
at the moment.

Brookmyre is also fab.

Mankell?
( Johnny Catfish - Yowsa!, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:43, archived)

Mankell = Henning Mankell
Swedish crime writer, quite bleak - very much in the vein of Rankin's Rebus, but set in Sweden, so colder, yet cleaner.

I've become rather hooked, as proven by the fact I seem to have bought all of them over the past few months :S
( The Teviot Moose major 5th., Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:52, archived)

I feel compelled to investigate
Any particular one that I should start off with?
( Johnny Catfish - Yowsa!, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:54, archived)

The first one (keeps any back story clear)
Which is called Faceless Killers

"Tempting as this geometric development is, it conceals the generality of the algebra..."

That's pretty readable.

Yeah, but that is a tutorial.
The stuff I am trying to read is by some bloke who actually uses it.

No.
It's where Buckaroo Banzai has an adventure.

Buckaroo Banzai and the 5 dimensional pheasant adventure.
Is a classic.

Is Buckaroo Banzai (a 5 dimensional pheasant adventure)
where you try balancing as many concepts on the back of a Japanese pheasant, before it throws them into hyperspace?
( The Teviot Moose major 5th., Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:05, archived)

Yes.
No.

Although I got the dimension wrong. It's actually the 8th...
( baldmonkey a frothy foul-smelling vaginal discharge, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:10, archived)

I'm not a 5 dimensional pluecker,
I'm a 5 dimensional pluecker's son,
And I'm only pluecking 5 dimensions,
