It's also known as Identikit.
I'm not sure you'll like it though
Searched for it, not found
eh, how do you know what I'd like? I put all those films you sent me on my rental, and I reckon I must have watched a few of them by now

I LOVED that
So did I, a book that stayed with me for quite some time after I had finished it.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Currently on Robert Adams 'Land of the Headless' a sci fi tale about a far future poet beheaded by his society (followers of the biblequ'ran) but like other headless kept alive and seeing through prosthetics and medical tech. Good stuff.
as is usual with Adams there is FAR more going on than the science fiction. After reading Swiftly and now this one I'm fast coming to think of Adams as one of sci-fi's most complex writers.

worked it out now!
I'm reading The Girls by Lori Lansen. It is about Rose and Ruby who are the worlds oldest craniopagus twins. It's fiction and yet another one I have bought from Asda with the R&J book club sticker on. So far I'm really enjoying it and last night it made me giggle quite a bit.

The R&J sticker is not anything to be fussed by. I read "The Time Travelers Wife" which had that sticker on and was a great book. Another book had it too that I can't remember! So what if it's in R&J's bookclub?

It wasn't a criticism. More about me really that recently that a lot of my book purchases have been from Asda. Im loving my book and the last 2 I recall I bought from Asda and had the R&J sticker on were 'Half A Yellow Sun' and 'The Bookseller from Kabul' both IMO excellant books
I'm not sure Coupland writes books for laughs. You might have missed the point...

I loved it! And thought parts of it were hilarious, albeit wrong, dark humour but that's my favourite kind!
I'm reading "The Night Watch" by Sarah Walters atm and am also hearting it!

The Origins of the Koran - Ibn Warraq
Bugger the R&J sticker on it - The Girls is a cracking novel, I really enjoyed it.
The blurb at the back implied that Jpod was LOL-matic. Certainly wasn't for me. I did enjoy it though; finding prime numbers and pi to umpteen decimal places. However going by the blurb it's a side splitter.

On a bit of break...
The Lake of Dead Languages by Carol Goodman. It was OK. Not that great though. I found the characters pretty irritating to tell the truth.

Coming to the end of Chris Haslams ‘ Alligator Strip’
Found it to be immensely engaging, to the point of obsession reading. (Especially as it’s an Easter Monday bank holiday)
What a read, it flows swiftly into the next plot so easily, I don’t know if there has been a film already made or not. Would defiantly watch it, but doubt it would ever live up to Chris Haslams novel, shame. Sherry Lee seems to be the only search info able to find on goggle, who would be able to fill her boots, and his handbag ;0
Absolutely pissed myself around the middle of the book, especially when he goes with Sherry Lee to church.
The red neck element with Brad, great read.

Sunday At The Crossbones is probably one of the best books I have ever read (and I read at least two a week) It is so good that despite it being a library book, I need to purchase it just to have.
It is based very much on truth, the story of a pastor who sought to save prostitutes souls in the thirties and came to an unfortunate end but so so much more is encompassed in the story. Wonderfully written and observed, a book I cannot stop thinking about and implore you to read

take me to the feeling
Finally finished Middlesex this morning, and am glad to say that it ended up winning me over. I think what threw me was the relatively old-fashioned storytelling - I wasn't expecting such a straightforward narrative, but it is a lovely, loving book.
Now reading Marina Warner - No Go The Bogeyman.
