Anyone read the Robert G Barrett books about a bouncer, Les Norton, working at an illegal casino in Sydney?

dam hilarious.

Wink Grin Grin



I read one of those many years ago.

Without a doubt, the worst book I've read in my entire life.


I have to come close to agreeing  Grin It's saving grace is that it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Jeffrey Archer has to be the least gifted contemporary  author.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Anyone else read the Thomas Covenant series by Stephen Donaldson?

Though dated, one of the better fantasy/other world series I've read.


Yes. Really good story with the twist of the protagonist being something of an Anti-hero with his 'leprosy'. Pretty unique series and the second series being a comment on Climate Change as well. Can be a very tedious writing style, but at the time - it was comparable to Tolkien in its vastness.
