Indeed. Would you picture Vinnie Jones as Mahogany though?

None. What about yourself?

Have you read any of his books?

I've read these many moons ago, and remember liking them very much. What Barker does with them is to take many well known horror tropes - the Golem, the Vampire, Frankenstein's monster, the Doppelganger, etc. - and rework them. A number of them have spawned films, with The Forbidden becoming...

Thomas, the list you posted is not the longlist for the Prix Goncourt. I noticed this earlier in the day. This is the correct longlist: Une éducation libertine, Jean-Baptiste Del Amo Le silence de Mahomet, Salim Bachi Le rêve de Machiavel, Christophe Bataille C'était notre terre, Mathieu...

It will be published in the US too, thanks to Beaufort Books.

She won the Nobel in 1928 "principially for her powerful descriptions of Northern life during the Middle Ages" and not for that book in particular.

Na, she's a cow. That's it.

I have Adam's previous novel, Cliffs, sitting on my shelves. It's one I want to read, but feel that it's navel-gazing qualities may be best left to a long, lazy rainy day.

It may not be appearing anytime soon in the US, but it will be getting published in the UK next month.

Not really, it's an introduction thread and you are introducing yourself to us. You took the best approach by being up front and honest about it. If you don't, fun things happen. ;) Provided every post isn't plugging the book and you keep any links to your signature, then all should be fine...

I'm a little disappointed to see Amazon there when The Book Depository is so much better. Not only does it have the wonderful enticement of Free Shipping Worldwide (therefore pissing on Amazon Prime), but it has regular author and publisher interviews, sends out a monthly newsletter, has an...

For your information, Waterstone's is the dominant chain in the UK and I counted three of them there. There's also three Blackwell's, out of the sixty or so stores in the UK. And you'll notice that, at number 27, is that well known independent Borders. ;)

As I said, it's out in the UK shortly - the end of this week, I think. Prior to that there's been hype. The sizeable sum paid for the rights no doubt justify the effort put into making it sell so that the cash can be recouped and start making a profit.

Why is that?

The decision was made ages ago. Keep up. ;)

Creationist, against same sex marriage, pro-life, denies man-made climate change - witch!
