What have you read recently?

Wally

JonQPublik just out of interest Jon, but how do you tear through so many books so quickly. I don’t think I’m a slouch but you’re lightspeed in comparison.

Wally I don’t watch TV much, and not much streaming (The Rings of Power and Wednesday were the last things I enjoyed)

No kids. No wife (or husband).
No one to get in the way of reading 4 hours at night. Sometimes more.

Dry-Tinder

What have you read recently? I got asked this at a job interview a few years back. The interviewer said that you can tell a lot about a person by what they read. I told them that I had read an article from a woman entitled “learning to appreciate the taste of your own shit” her boyfriend liked to clean up in her mouth after they had done anal. Suffice to say, I didn’t get the job.

Dry-Tinder applying for the wrong jobs DT!

2 minutes into the interview I knew that I didn’t want the job. The guy interviewing me was a horrible cunt, I wanted to punch him in the face, his questions were stupid, so I thought why not make this more fun.

Just finished Heat 2. Bloody brilliant

Stephen King - End of Watch

I’ve been reading King for 30 years. A lot of great stories in that time. This however is comfortably in his worst 3 novels. Absolutely rotten, a preposterous storyline with very annoying characters.

I’ve got a George Orwell book lined up next - The Road to Wigan Pier - which I read many years ago and was quite good I think

Wally

That’s The Wolf done. Enjoyed it and bought The Spider. 8 battle lines / 10 - cheers for the recommendation. 👍🏻

Homegrove

Iain M. Banks - Matter. The 8th book in The Culture-series, and my least favorite so far. 600 pages, and quite little happened in it. Still in the top class in sci fi, so only not so good if you compare it to other Banks’ books, and not other scifi.

Amps

Homegrove All about the ideas that one, ideas over story. Still boss though.

LT42

Almost finished Heat 2 and really enjoying it. They way its written you can just picture the scenes/lighting that Mann would use.

LT42 Not the same without Al Pacino shouting improvised lines

Homegrove

Iain M. Banks - Surface Detail. Woah. That was pretty amazing. 600 pages, of which I did half today. Now my arse hurts from sitting down reading it.

One more Culture-book left. But before that some horror again, Gus Moreno - This Thing Between Us.

Homegrove

Homegrove Gus Moreno - This Thing Between Us

That was really disturbing. An easy read though, recommended for horror-folks.

I’m about 80% of the way through Irvine Welsh The Long Knives his latest release which is a follow up to Crime.

It’s alright but definitely not a classic 🫤
