Currently reading Old Bones & Shallow Graves: The Untold Story of The Irish-American Gangster by T.J. English. It's quite interesting in parts.

has a bit of controversy about it; new editions have dropped the story William And The Nasties [on the order of Crompton's descendants].
Written in 1935, the story relates how William distrusts a Jewish shopkeeper and forms a mob to drive him out of town. Anti-semitism was not frowned upon much back then.
Nasties phonetically sounds quite like nazis.
I loved the 1970s television series.
I've just started the Blandings omnibus by PG Wodehouse.
All good, whch is just as well, as my reading for the forseeable future will be dictated by a course "required reading" list.
Which course are you doing?
BA in Humanities in DCU thorough Oscail, National Distance Education Centre.
Doing 3 modules this year. My other reading has consisted of Plato "The Republic", commentaries on same, Aquinas "Selected Writings", Aristotle "Selected Writings" and commentaries on same.
They are all books that the writers I like have read, but I have always been put off by the prospect of antiquated language or brainy philosophy. Sounds like an interesting course though - g'luck with it.
dennis cooper: "period".
dont quite know what to make of this, must read it again. it seems the various characters in the novel are different aspects of just two (or maybe even one) central characters.
