  • What have you read recently?

seanc80 three of them are rereads so I have some idea what they’re like. 😃

Is kitchen sinking an option in Finland H?

As in do people kitchen sink it up?

    All clubs closed at the moment. So unless you do it at private parties it’s a bit difficult.

    Billy Summers wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be… I don’t get the hype. Certainly not my favorite SK work. Also, some of it felt like recycled plot points from Doctor Sleep.

    Really enjoyed K.S. Villoso’s The Wolf of Oren-yaro. I do seem to enjoy a lot of Asian fantasy. Have ordered the 2 other books in the series.

    Just starting James Islington’s The Shadow of What Was Lost.

      I have recently read War and Peace and Hugo’s COVID Musings, the latter being the longer read.

      JonQPublik I do seem to enjoy a lot of Asian fantasy.

      Me too. Although not of that sort you describe.

      Mad_Cyril They do, in HelSINKi I believe Edward

      MC providing relentless Hi-NRG bants to the board nowadays, like someone plugged him into the mains or something.

        bosstrabs Just finished Platform. Not sure what to make of it tbh. I think I enjoyed it, although I found it quite bleak.

          About to start Bobby Gillespie’s Tenement Boy.

          Hold tight for feedback!

            Smallman1 Genuinely looking for feedback on this… I suspect Bobby is a massive twat on the sly, and as such have swerved this so far.

            JonQPublik Agree, was very disappointed with Billy Summers. Very slow plot development which was fine but ending didnt really do it for me

            Are there many biographies that portray the subject as a cunt?

            PS. I’m a fan and have the book on the shelf ready to go!

              Mad_Cyril haha fair enough… I’m holding tight for feedback… yours not Ed’s

              Michael Mann’s written two novels set in the world of Heat. A prequel set in 1989, and a sequel set in 2002. Will wait for the reviews before I rush to buy either, but I’m certainly interested. The positive side is that with that timeline neither can be made into a movie (or I don’t see how without changing the entire cast).

                It’s a fair point… but I reckon you occasionally get the massive twat, who want’s you to know he’s a massive twat. Reckon a Joey Barton or Roy Keane book could feature such info.

                Gillespie has taken grief recently for not paying royalties or giving writing credits etc. Not sure when on the scale of twatishness this would register.
