hey Bobby, i loved Zen and the art, it's a perserverance book, one that you love for the journey not the destination, i read Douglas Couplands "Life after god" which i thought had a quite similar theme, though was much more accessible. maybe that was just me. Finished "a wild ride through the...

not sure if it's just a bad translation. whearas bluebear is inventive and constantly engaging "wild night" is not as original, and at times reads like pieced together descriptions of the pictures, it has the odd moment but i wouldn't say it gets close to being worth the price of admission. Not...

i hope you enjoy the "walking on glass" will be interested in your comments. i may make some purchases this weekend end in the kurkov area. the newly released sequel to death and the penguin is a must buy! mind you i bought survivor so maybe it's breaks on *must resist purchasing new books*...

Warning please be warned i'm half way through "a wild ride through the night" and the story is appalling. If you enjoyed Blue bear do not be tempted to read this book, the only good thing about it is the illustrations, but they are taken from 19th century engravings, by a book on the works of...

i like this pem too however i thought the same thing about the Guh's, though i'm no poet (caveat). how about "with guidance through the glorious gate" not sure if that hold's quite the same meaning ksky

7/10 as well, kicking myself over one i got wrong, but fortunately it was balanced by the educated guesses i got right - lol. Cycling association who cares Vroom Vroom. ksky

i should think that would do nicely if you can spare it. :p though you may have to bear with me as i'm new to stalking, perhaps theres a stalking book i should read. "stalking for dummies" perhaps, except as you know i do it for turnips not dummies. ksky

i guess it was the unravelling of the esoteric knowledge. It also made my visit to Paris more interesting as i visited the pendulum, very interesting building. ksky

for five groats and an unusually shaped turnip i'll stalk ya Litany. kskyhappy

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar

wow i've got much more respect for Roddy Doyle now! The guy i used to work with used to meet up with other fans for Blooms day - Aaaaaaaaaarghhh. ksky

wow martin i'm suprised you mentioned Blindness i've tried once to get into it, mustn't have been a very serious attempt (shall try harder next time), which reminds me i've got his jesus christ book lying around half finished somewhere. hmm books that have grabbed me by the throat? i guess...

the one book i haven't conquered yet is Ullysses, james joyce, i can't see why it keeps getting voted in the top 100 books let alone top 5, personally i think literary types like to pretend they like it to look clever...grrr. other books i've struggled through and finished, include the...

lol platypus, emmanual Kant was a real piss ant ksky

yep i've read quantity theory and great apes. I recall that great apes was a good read, reminded me of brave new world. Though if you haven't read Brave new world (aldous Huxley) i'd recommend that above great apes, however an unread book on the shelf is worth two in the bookstore (actually it...

bearing in mind that the titles changed a little from when they were first published and now i think they are available in omnibus i would recommend: Erlic of melnibone - definately first in the series Sailor on the seas of fate (jade man's eyes) can't remember which order the next three...

watched tomb raider 2 - appalling comparable to james bond at his worst, why didn't they just stick to the adventure side of tomb raider, very badly scripted. and The actors, why oh why. I'm a big fan of Dylan Moran, especially after Black books but this is decidedly average, i thought it...

interesting, a library of authors with no books, almost a story in itself. ksky

how come in the library under statistics theres more authors than books? surely it should be the other way around? or have i gone totally bonkers? ksky

Steppenwolf twenty pages left and wow. I can understand why Hesse couldn't understand why youngsters were enjoying this book. You have to have lived long enough to have got disillusioned. However, i think the pace of life is much quicker these days and it's possible to feel the same...
