John Dies at the End - by David Wong. Hugely strange, with a plot I can't explain and I'm only just keeping up with.......but there must be something about the book, cos I'm still reading it

Cor, so it was a very booky Christmas for me. I will be the most boring but happy person in the world for the next little while until I get through this lot;

A Slip Of The Keyboard & A Blink Of The Screen .

A Fortunate Life - Albert Facey

Malala - Malala Yousafzai

Revolution - Russell Brand

A bit of a mixed bag but variety is the spice of life is it not?


Happy reading days everyone.

Eventually finished this. I liked it.

At times I wavered and got a bit lost. The action is sometimes a bit surreal and as such if I wasn't concentrating I lost the thread a bit. But when I made time to properly get my head into the book it was fun.

A real mix of buddy humour between two friends and sometimes some quite gory comedy-horror with people exploding etc. I didn't find it the easiest book to read ........but I would give the sequel a go, so it can't have been that bad.

 

[Catch-up]

Good to know! I'll put it on my list then.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just started the last of Tad Williams Bobby Dollar trilogy, Sleeping Late on Judgement Day, the 2nd one "Happy Hour in Hell" was Ok not as good as the 1st one, I find that sometimes with trilogies.

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Started with The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

 

[Penfold]

Excellent book Sjoerd (the film wasn't too bad either but I definitely preferred the book).

 

[Sjoerd3000]

The film is now on my to watch list

 

[Tonyblack]

Sean Connery is so good at doing accents . . . NOT!

 

[Penfold]

Sean Connery is excellent at doing languages.......provided that language is Scottish!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

He does two accents Edinburgh and Scottish.

I'm currently reading: "The Barrakee Mystery: An Inspector Bonaparte Mystery #1 featuring Bony, the first Aboriginal detective (Inspector Bonaparte Mysteries)" by Arthur W. Upfield. This was originally written in 1929 and is the first one of the series. I'm enjoying it so far. This was one of those books when the word "ejaculation" tended to be used in a different context.
