Yep, and so it came to pass that beer good voted No.

Saw that was an oversight myself and added it, if only so I could vote.

It was just filmed at the end of last year. It's good that the stories from the Books are finally getting adapted, especially given their original takes on stale archetypes. I've yet to see Midnight Meat Train, but this one, being filmed nearby, I will be interested to see. I always do like to...

In just two posts he's evolved from Dawkin to Dawkins. Proof, if ever it was needed, to sustain his argument.

Probably the editor commissioned it and then the little journalist went out and wrote it...oh, you mean the book.

Eat newbies.

Here you go:

Heh, I like to mix it up a bit too. Gilbert Adair's my reading fluff, basically metafictional pastiches of other novels. I would highly recommend his The Death Of The Author or, if you like Agatha Christie, his Evadne Mount trilogy.

I would just like to point out it's the thread for recently purchased books and not one for recently read books.

I read that a few years back, and mean to read it again very soon. He's one of my favourite writers, and I say that without having read his biggies, like The Grapes Of Wrath and East Of Eden. I have read, in addition to To A God Unknown, these ones: Cup Of Gold, The Red Pony, The Moon Is Down...

I was listening to the Modern Lovers, but have no opted for some Julee Cruise.

I have two Theroux accounts, The Great Railway Bazaar and The Old Patagonian Express. Not read them yet. Also unread is Gerard Brennan's South From Grenada, which isn't so much a journey as an exploration of a single place. A couple of others I've got on the shelves are three by John Steinbeck...

So far this year; Old Yeller, Fred Gipson The Tenant, Roland Topor Night Geometry And The Garscadden Trains, A.L. Kennedy The House With The Green Shutters, George Douglas Brown Love And Death On Long Island, Gilbert Adair The Lotus Crew, Stewart Meyer The Dead Of The House, Hannah Green...

Thanks, I thought it was just me, because I can view them fine from my phone, via 3G, but can't get to them from Firefox on the home computer. I'll look into it, but I can see right now, that there's five members on the World Lit, and people have been posting all afternoon. As it happens, I'm...

I posted on my blog my top choices for the year: These were: Doctor Glas, Hjalmar Söderberg The Invention Of Morel, Adolfo Bioy Casares The Catcher In The Rye, J.D. Salinger Pedro Páramo, Juan Rulfo Goodbye, Columbus, Philip Roth Terra Amata, J.M.G. Le Clézio Metropole, Ferenc...

No, they are rotten.

Not to mention that different books come with different type sizes, making any point in page counts redundant.

The Independent is a British newspaper, so it stands to reason their interests should be translated works published in the United Kingdom. There's nothing high profile, as far as I'm aware. That said, there is the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, which rewards, like the Nobel, a...

I wasn't aware there was an explicit percentage assigned. Can you provide a source for such a claim? But, with th prize being awarded to the writer who was has produced the most idealistic work, it's little surprise that politics gets a look-in from time to time.
