What Book Did You Read Last Night??? (3 Viewers)

[St. Fechin]

I want to pick. I don't want to pick.

Go on then.

Joking aside, I'd quite like to read Sleepwalker by John Toomey (published by Dalkey Archive Press=BONER). It should be easy to get hold of.
I won't have time for the Thumped Book Club before June though.

Pretty decent collection of 'Cthulhu mythos' stories by Robert Bloch. I particalary liked the 2 stories he wrote in the Haunter in the Dark Series. (Basically, Bloch wrote a story where an Author (obviously Lovecraft) is killed by a other worldly creature then Lovecraft responded with HITD with an starring an author based on Bloch. Years later, Bloch wrote 'The SHadow of the Steeple' another sequal this time with a 'real life' Lovecraft being mention and a character based on Fritz Leiber...

[St. Fechin]

what are you up to St. Fechin ?

Work + study. You know yourself.

 

[Lili Marlene]

fine, be an evasive Shaney already

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

huh?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Why can't we just read The Fermata for book club? At least two of us have already read it which means that they can discuss it even if nobody else reads it.

 

[rettucs]

I dunno. It sounds a wee bit saucy and I'm catholic and its lent and all

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

how about a book of the bible then?

 

[Lili Marlene]

This? I've been meaning to read it for ages

and I know how much Jonah hearts Philip Pullman

 

[St. Fechin]

Not the Song of Solomon anyway, that's nearly as filthy as The Fermata.

Wouldn't mind reading that sometime actually.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I read that pullman one recently, its shite

 

[Lili Marlene]

Why is it shite? he's generally a good author, albeit a bit* self-congratulatory. Right, we ain't doing that book because, one again, Shaney disapproves.



* a lot

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Oh by all means read it for the book club. I will weigh in with some negative comments. I thought it was pointless and I didn't enjoy the way he wrote it but I forget what exactly it was that I didn't like now. I think it was the biblical style he used - jesus did this, then he did that. then mary went shopping, christ met the sinister man who said more troublemaking stuff. Its very short, it will only take an hour or two to read it.

I've never read anything else of his. That trilogy that was made into films - i wouldnt mind reading that some time.

 

[Lili Marlene]

No, you shouldn't read them. I want you to stay away from stuff I like.

oh, by calling St. Fechin evasive I was referring to your refusal to tell me what your job was in the I want to go home thread

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Did you like The Fermata?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I said did you like the fermata

 

[jonah]

I'd rather drive blunt screws into my own neck that read that pullman book and well you know it I is John!
