Really struggling with Morrissey's autobiography. He's so windy, obviously. I'm just not in the right frame of mind for it. Too tired lately. I think in the right setting I would enjoy it a lot more. Feels a bit like trying to watch The Assassination of Jesse James when you aren't arsed with a...

Enjoying this. Finished the chapter last night about the girl that started aging backwards. Really bummed me out that. Then I had a dream that one of the young ones in work (attractive) died, and I had to do all the stuff for the funeral. Although she either wasn't dead or didn't realise she...

I just got the first one of these out of the library. Have finished The Master and Margarita. I read this when I was about 21. I'm sure there were layers and subtext I didn't get then, but I enjoyed the chaos of it. Reading it at 41, I am sure there were layers and subtext I didn't get, but I...

I got Four Thousand Weeks from the library after @egg_ 's glowing review. And ironically I haven't had time to read it. I read egg's post and the back cover at least, so I reckon I've got the jist.

Decided to give up on In Cold Blood last night, just under half way through. Felt horrible reading about real murders. In Cold Blood - Wikipedia

Well, if it's grim you are trying to avoid get stuck into Blood Meridian... Read Limmy's autobiography. I like Limmy, but I was getting a bit tired of hearing about his cock.

The Satsuma Complex - Bob Mortimer. This was totally fine, a decent take on noir fiction with a English Midlands slant.

Would put you right off reading and straight on to TikTok.

I thought BorrowBox had every book ever available to rent. But turns out it's a bit shit.

Made it half way through Normal People. Can't hack their nonsense. Bin.

I flew through the Fellowship of the Ring. The Two Towers is dragging with these Ent losers. Started Normal People, but don't think it is going to be for me.

Re-read Simon Price's Everything recently enough. Quite strange looking at it now, coming out only 4 years after Richie Manic's disappearance. When we wanted them to release another Holy Bible and thought he might be skipping about India. Reading Tim Key's first lockdown book at the minute He...

It's not a schooner, it's a Sailboat

The Man in the High Castle (1962) - at least the second time reading this. Fly through the first half, then it gets to be a real slog. Once the American's start their jewellery business I really lose interest. Because I'm thick probably. Some Freebies Treasure Island (1883) - Good craic. I...

Yeah, i like him to be fair. I remember the intro to that book having a little bit of cringe where he was trying to come across as best mates with Nicky Wire. Maybe he was, but i can deal with that level of fandom and want anyway. Must check out that link.

Yeah. It was really a blog post in book form. I read the 33 1/3 on the holy bible not long after and it was similar stuff. I wanted the minutia of how they recorded the album track by track, but it was mostly another short history by a younger fan. Again, grand. I bought Everything then, but...

I hear what you're saying. What a nerd.

Is there a sci fi books for sale on adverts thread? https://www.adverts.ie/bulk/science-fiction-sci-fi-books/15179634

That's because the likes of us and @snakybus are pure legends. The manics books is a very quick read. Do the likes of us have better, more informed opinions? Not for me to say. Yes. But if you are in a manics buzz it'll pass an evening.
