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.

No Reservations is a brill. show. Bourdain is definitely my kind of guy. yum ;]

I like me a bit of Moorcock, when he's good he's very very good (the natural follow up to this is also true...)

I recommend the Von Bek books next. :)

Bought this on Tuesday:

I know it's not supposed to be out yet, but I have my ways. Saving it for the hols in 2 weeks time.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Got assigned this for class, but really fond of it and can't keep my eyes off it. It's... some sort of illustrated writing manual/journal/autobiography thing.

Might be going to the library soon... friend keeps reccomending the "City of Bones" series and I'd really like to know if the hype is justified. Probably not, but I'mma give it a fair try regardless.
