They have many faults, but they are pure entertainment. The reason i posted was that you never seem to read anything for entertainment, which i find curious. I always had to have something on the go, even when i was studying.

^This. I have to have a little mind candy now and then to balance things out a little.

If you want some seriously mindless, but entertaining shite, try this:

Think: Tank Girl runs a brothel in outer space.

The stuff I read I enjoy hugely. I'm one of those readers for whom each new book is often suggested by the last - so the book on Maoism was the result of a few paragraphs on Foucault regarding his involvement with the Groupe d'Information sur les Prisons. I did post up a request asking for recommendations, as I thought there would be some posters able to offer suggestions. Sadly, none were forthcoming.

I'm a typical working class autodidact.

Manter I noticed you were reading Mark Lawrence. I read, loved and was incensed by his Broken Empire trilogy (set in same world) - first one was great, rip-roaring antihero fun; second book was really quite brilliant; third squandered all his excellent characterisation and bleak, lyrical writing on some cheap shit plot with more holes than a fishnet stocking. Would still recommend tho, esp book 2.

Completely agree with you. Red queen's war series also good, slightly less bleak but satisfying anti hero. And just read first one of new series, Red sister. Really want to read the next one but he hasn't written it yet! Unusually, the remote and martial nunnery it's set in is actually quite a nice place. Relatively ....
