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.

Indeed we almost all know how it ends, but at the same time it is so similar the times mentioned in the book with the present :roll:

i finally finished "Use of Weapons" the other day, which means i've read the first 3 'culture' books back to back (and very fab they are too), so i'm taking a break before the next one and re-reading one of the scariest books i've ever read...
