You don't really have much going for you, do you John?

No maturity. No intellect. Nothing worth saying outside of a primary school playground.

Just flitting from one thread to the next, pissing your scent with gratuitous insults before looking for more opportunities to demonstrate what a shallow, superficial, sad little fellow you are.

Reply #111 - Jan 17^th, 2014 at 9:14am Guys, there are plenty of other corners of the forum to indulge our political/personal slanging matches. Let's keep this corner for talking about the books we like or don't like.

I'm still waiting for King to finalise his Gunslinger series.

I've read all of them.

What about The Dark Tower series..? ..you know? Roland to the Dark Tower goes.'

Thats a mindbender... or

on a much lighter note Alan Dean Foster's 'Spellsinger' series. Enjoyed that.

OR even more in my line Alan Dean Foster's ..' Book of the Damned ' series.

Gunslinger.. hmm yeah I've read some of them ..

But I'll always remember Roger Zelazny's .. Damnation Alley.

There are too many.. I can't keep up.. then again.. I am not a computer.

this is true.

How is this for a line...

"Most criminals of Glen's acquaintance had never known anything else. They were second- and even third-generation, people to whom it would never have occurred to look for honest work. They grew up looking at the world with different eyes, seeing different kinds of opportunities, different kinds of obstacles.They envisaged treasures behind every locked door yet imagined many of the open ones were somehow impenetrable to them." 'Flesh Wounds' by Chris Brookmyre.

Letters: Nancy Mitford and Evelyn Waugh.

It's going to be a while, every letter has about a dozen footnotes re the people mentioned.

I wasn't wrong when I said it would take a while, but I am enjoying it immensely. They are both so subtly humorous in discussing each other's work & lives as well as people they both know. But I can pick it up and put it down when I like, which is a great advantage when there are so many other things to be done.
Waiting in the wings I have the 2 volumes of biography of Leon Trotsky by Isaac Deutscher, picked up for $4 would you believe . . .know your enemy! Maybe he isn't, I have yet to find out.
