I am trying to read Two books One Auto biography of Eric Sykes and Mick Imlah Selected Poems.
Only thing is having Dyslexia I am constantly struggling to find
where I am on the page and having to go back as i seem to
read something that is not there.
Really impressed tbh. Something to be said for waiting till these mammoth series are complete, then just reading them in order. You forget what’s happened if you’re waiting 3 years for the next one to come out.
A monstrous series steeped in all kinds of colourfully weird shit. IMO you don’t ‘have the time’ to figure everything that’s happening – you just go with the flow. Cracking read in parts.
Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding here. Strangely not nearly as ‘clever’ as the first book, so may give it a miss if it doesn’t pick up.
Paintwork by Tim Maughn. Interesting series of short stories involving Grafitti and high tech. Slightly cyberpunk in feel, and set in Bristol, which is neat.
Just bought three Tim Powers ebooks, The Drawing Of The Dark, The Anubis Gates and On Stranger Tides,
(which might sound familiar to some), and I’m trying to decide which one to read first. Haven’t read any of them in ages,
eeny, meeny, miney…
Dont think so. David Wong is one of the editors of cracked.com I believe he has only had the one book… and it is more of a glorious gush of conscious thought in no conscious order. Makes sense though.
The Restoration Game by Ken Macleod. Not really sure what to make of it yet, seems to be a bit of a return to form but it doesn’t really seem sure what it wants to be.
Ulysses, although I’m just about to give up on that. Got to about page 200 and it’s just painful.
The Brentford Triangle and the antipope
Just started Notes from a small island
Sex, lies and handlebar tape – just got to the bit where it’s revealed he nailed his daughter in law with consent from his wife.
