Crowquill is cool. Sorta. I hate the Fall Of Troy. And Joy Division. And West Side Story.

I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert.

It's hilarious.

Just finished that one, it was... not what i was expecting. It actually wasn't that good, though it is one of those _classic_ books that 'you must read before you die'.
Not a classic at all and you needn't read it before you die. It's sadomasochistic softcore porn in novel form.

I still have never finished 'Naked Lunch' if I'm honest. I'm all for surrealism but W.B's cut-and-paste approach to the structure kind of irritated me. You can't argue with his wielding of the language though. I know the narrative can reputedly be read in any order, has anyone tried this? But it's time I gave it another go.

Currently reading: James Joyce - 'Portait Of the Artist As A Young Man' - my first Joyce since school, really compelling

William K.Massie - 'Dreadnought: Britain, Germany and the Coming of the Great War' - a real monster but just narrative history at it's best. Now finally I can talk to my dad about Otto Von Bismarck and the Franco-Prussian War and make him proud of his underachieving son.

George Orwell's "1984", kind of inspired to read it again considering things happening in our world, especially concerning our internet rights being under siege at the moment. Big Brother is definitely watching...

Great collection. My favorite story would have to be "All The King's Horses"
