Read, read, read!!!! education, imagination, humour

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Oops! :lol:

Currently reading Gene Wolfe's latest book "The Sorcerers's House". Good stuff so far (as I've always come to expect from Gene Wolfe) with a nod towards Lovecraft, but it's still not as good as his masterpiece Book of the New Sun series
