I'm finding it a slog. I think it might be a load of cobblers.

Genius x 10,000hrs = SUPERGENIUS!

Today not much reading but much chuckling.

Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Body, and Apt Pupil were all in Different Seasons. 3 out of 4 stories turned into decent films.

Where do you live?

Alas, no.

Swords

Hmm thought I replied to this. I have that in me shop I think. Can do ya a thumped member exclusive deal. :D

If I recall correctly. It's been years since I read it. I've read so many Roth books and he includes himself in most of them it's hard to tell if I'm thinking of the right book!

IIRC Sabbath's Theatre wasn't bad, Roth's a filthy auld fucker though.

I finally got a proper start on Retromania by Simon Reynolds last night. He just sounds rather curmudgeonly. I feel his whole thesis might be a load of cobblers, but gonna give it a go as it's still quite readable and full of fun facts.

Yeah saw something similar in rural US, understood for the first time what the Milky Way was/meant. It's this big milky splash of stars, you don't really notice it around Dublin. Still a cold crisp night around here and some 'noculars or 'scope and I think I'd have a lark.

Sounds like you're damning it with faint praise my man!

I got this last week but won't get to read it til the end of next week. I've read that other Reynolds one and thought it was gear so hoping this'll be good too.

You need a kindle, then you'd half a half an inch high pile of books you hadn't read.

I was wondering about that because I read before in History Ireland there were scant few documentary sources left for the black death in Ireland.

World War Z reads like that too and hey, it's becoming a film!

I loved and hated WWZ. I really like the format, and some of the entries are brilliant but too many of them read really badly or are just cliché ridden.
