Heartland

This is good because for a start the Alien3 section is better than the film and secondly there simply is no Alien Resurrection.

Nor any of that AVP nonsense. Shudder.

Just finished reading Novel With Cocaine by the supposed M. Ageyev. Found it secondhand in the English Bookshop. The cover said the author was unknown, and the manuscript was sent to a Paris publication in the 1930's. Story is about a young man in 1917 and his addiction with cocaine. Although in reality only the last quarter is actually about cocaine, but that has nothing to do with the quality of this book. I enjoyed it, though I had to read quite a few paragraphs again, English isn't my native language and the language used is far more complex than the usual thriller drivel and Stephen King I read.

Robert Bly - The Iron John

MAX HASTINGS - CATASTROPHE

I'm a third of the way through it. It's not bad. I expected more background on the reasons why WW1 happened.
Britain's involvement is a bit simplistic and rather Fawltyesque - they started it they invaded Belgium.
There's very little mention of Germany's "Place In The Sun" and how upsetting that was.
But it's very readable and has a lot of detail and was only 99p from the Charity Shop so one can't complain too much.

I'd take anything Max "Hitler" Hastings says with a pinch of salt the approximate size of comet 67P.

Blast from the past! 1790!

Georg Forster, Ansichten vom Niederrhein, von Brabant, Flandern, Holland, England und Frankreich, Berliner Ausgabe, 2013

Aftertaste of voyage with James Cook from 1772-1775. Highly recommended.

Just finished the thoroughly engrossing...


and just started...



He comes across well so far (60 pages in).

It took me six weeks to finish this. The early stuff (upbringing, Pistols, early-PiL) is quite interesting; debunking all the myths and tabloid lies etc., but he just lost me in the middle section. It just seemed very "Me! Me!" and I zoned out. I think I even read two Harry Bosch novels in the interim.

But it's worth persevering with as the final third is as good as the first third. Overall, it is a fascinating insight in Britain's "Most Hated Man" (no wonder he fucked off to LA) and you get to see sides of Mr Lydon's character you never would have expected.

Recommended for all you polyglots - would have made a good Christmas present for !

Just started ... seems a somewhat funny idea that violence should not
be the most powerful means for change in this world ... so let's see ... ...

'Cause I like F1

I'm still not sure if this series is a work of genius or utter trash, but I'm quite enthralled by it.

Also

because I love origin stories of words and grammatical elements.

Just started in this, the christmas present my love gave me. Oh she knows me so well

Let me know what you think. I read it last year.

Will do! Remind me if I don't!

I've just started The Light Beneath The Waves by Stuart Farquhar.

I don't know if anyone's heard of him? His stuff is quite good

Is he good enough ?

Crazy.

An interesting journey in the footsteps of Graham Greene through post civil war but pre Ebola Sierra Leone and Liberia. Got it from my local Poundland !

I just LOVE John Farris's novels. Truly a master of the genre.
