Trust me, that way madness lies
Now I'm filled with a sense of dread........
I'll come back when I have finished the book.
Trust me, that way madness lies
The Master & Margarita - Bulgakov
About 80 pages in and still not sure what to make of it! Has anyone else read this?
Finally got round to Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides and can't believe it's taken so long. What a wonderful writer. So frustrating that there's nothing new on the way, as far as I know
I'm finally about to start reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. It's been on my book shelf untouched for as long as I can remember
Black book: The league of extraordianary Gentlmen. For about the fourth time.
By some fella named Alan Moore.
The Terror, by Peter Straub.
It's the eighteen hundreds.
Two ships set off from England on an expidition to chart the uttermost limits of the North pole.
One of these ships was called the Terror.
Kind of a mix of Scott of the Antartic and John Carpenters the Thing.
Dan Brown and J K Rowling can fuck off.
This is popular fiction, as written by someone with actual talent, intelligence and the mileage to prove it.
I'm STILL ploughing through the Morley book. By the christ he's one whinging moaning self-obsessed pretentious CUNT I don't even know why I'm bothering to finish it. I just keep hoping that there might be something, if only one paragraph, that might make it worth all the effort.
Great cure for insomnia though - eh, El Jefe - try Paul Morley - Nothing. Guaranfuckteed to send you to sleep!!
Which one, think I've read them all. If it's WOrds & Musuc, i LOVED that.
The point with Morley is that he IS pretentious. It's just really good fun
Insomnia plus time off certainly gets reading done. Now flying through The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey,which is excellent
I'm still slowly working through The Master & Margarita, which is proving to be quite frustrating. I think I can now see where the book might be 'going', and I really hope this doesn't prove to be the case.
Yeah, Mea culpa. Tis Dan Simmons. I was tired, ok.
And the Alan Moore is the black Dossier. Yep, I was very tired.
Bernie Gunther and ex-Nazi's? Damn, that sounds interesting.

You'll never forget it, put it that way
You really did enjoy this book didn't you? Without giving too much away (I'm still getting through it) what did you like most? I'm really beginning to feel a little lost with this one.
