I've never read anything longer than an article by him, he could be amazing.That is quite amusing! Forgot about Young Skins. I remember it getting good reviews, but forgot to buy it.
Julian seems alright, no?

hmm, yeah I didn't think much of that piece to be honest. It was all a bit "man discovers feminism aged 45 and thinks the world needs to know about it."Haven't read any of his books either, but came across this article recently and I'm kind of interested now.

Joseph Leland is an aging, retired NYPD detective on his way to Los Angeles to visit his daughter for a Christmas party hosted by her boss, Mr. Rivers. Although retired, he still habitually carries his Browning Hi-Power pistol with him everywhere, paranoically carrying it onto planes by using his old badge in fear of a terrorist attack. On the plane, Leland begins a relationship with a stewardess named Kathy, who he talks to throughout the novel over the phone. Leland is still somewhat depressed that his wife had left him and then died eight years later, and the relationship between him and his daughter is strained. He hopes that this visit will help the relationship, but when the building is taken over, he uses his experience with terrorists to kill them all and save the hostages. He is depicted as a disturbed hero from his Second World War fighter pilot days, and it is hinted that if he never got involved that nobody would have been killed. In Die Hard, his name is John McClane and he is portrayed by Bruce Willis.
Speaking of difficult, has anyone copped a look at Alan Moore's new novel Jerusalem yet? Was looking at it in a bookshop last week. It's insanely long ... 1000+ pages of pretty densely packed text. And it looks really meandering and convoluted too. I've only a passing interest in Moore so not enough to commit to something like this but, like, Jesus .. some editing maybe?
What's the story with Solar Bones? One-line? Really?
is his first novel any good? I've never been mad on his comics but the novels do sound intriguing.I got it ages ago and so far I've gotten through the prologue and about ten pages into the first chapter. It's good but it's not exactly a page turner.
I've never read any of his other novels.is his first novel any good? I've never been mad on his comics but the novels do sound intriguing.
Killed by the luminaries?I haven't read a book in six months
the writing is shocking flowery so far (20 pages in).
I did. It didn't leave much of impression though, other than I didn't enjoy it. I shouldn't've bothered reading it, actually, I don't think I liked the previous one either.I am currently been killed by purity by Jonathan franzen, anyone else read it?
I've been not reading for months because I'm halfway through some Murakami book and I've finally realised that I dislike his stupid, lazy, samey, garbage stories. And this is about the fifth one I've read!I shouldn't've bothered reading it, actually, I don't think I liked the previous one either.

Wind-Up Bird. And it's the EXACT SAME as 1Q84 (which I probably only read because a big book feels like good value) and Kafka on the Shore. Also read Norwegian Wood a long, long time ago but I don't remember anything about it, and the running one. I think I liked him because of the running one and that's why I thought I liked his books but I definitely don't.Which one are you reading?
LOLZ, gas postI've been not reading for months because I'm halfway through some Murakami book and I've finally realised that I dislike his stupid, lazy, samey, garbage stories. And this is about the fifth one I've read!

I also took up running, but you've to wash your hair every time so it's not worth it.
