I've been dipping into WWZ a couple of times of late again. Makes for easy late night reading. Some of it is very good, but certain sections are embarrassingly badly written and his attempts at satire are none too subtle.

I'm glad you liked it, just don't spoil it by reading The Humbling. Steaming pile of shite.

It is surprising how alliterate our society seems to be considering we huff and puff about all our great writers a lot.

You read that Copyrights, Copywrongs? I still have a copy of that lying about if you or anyone else wants it.

This reminds me that I meant to order that byouk. Thanks. Has anyone read the Stieg Larsson Girl With trilogy? They're selling like hotcakes of late and I haven't heard a bad thing about them yet.

Yeah, I have it in the store, was thinking about reading it. I'm still on this which I'd wholeheartedly recommend as a primer on the Troubles history.

Is it any use?

I dunno how he does it, on the face of it, they're crap, but when I read them I get sucked in, but not so much that I stay up all night reading. Just nicely diversionary.

I've got American Gods (going cheap) in my bookshop. Call out thumpeders. :)

This was interesting, although it could have been better edited/written. I'm currently rereading: His books are great for trying to fall asleep reading.

That's the last time I do anything for you.

Mad, I read that years ago, when I was about 14. We had a pulpy '60s edition of it.

I should maybe post these in freecycle but if anybody (who can meet me in the city centre or is near swords) wants any of these just pm me.

Now on this:

American Pastoral, The Human Stain and, I Married A Communist are all amazing imho. I liked Everyman, though I doubt I'll read it ever again! I read The Humbling in about an hour, it's kinda crap. It's readable, like most of Roth's stuff, but it is the only book I've ever read where the...

I thought last year's Indignation was amazing and there wasn't a whiff of old man mickey off it. I didn't read Exit Ghost as it was reviewed terribly. He does have a few terrible books but most of his are very readable. I think Deception was the worst one I've attempted to read.

About to crack this bad boy open then probably cry myself to sleep. :)

About 50 pages into this and I'm hooked. It's a layman's history of finance/money, really well written thus far at least. I'll hold off on recommending it until I'm finished it though.

Yeah he is a bit. Some of his points and analogies etc. are terrible too. I think it could have done with some decent editing/rewriting.
