Just finished Station Eleven - a semi-fresh take on the post-apocalypse genre. Some passages really knocked me for a loop in the way they detailed the collapse from a few key players' perspectives.

(Super fast and fatal flu epidemic gets the call in this one)

A little slow at times with pre-collapse flashbacks but they add up to the point of the book - at least I think the point. "If it all goes to ****, which memories will you choose to keep, and which will you avoid in order to mentally survive."

Highly recommended if you're into this stuff.

Re-reading Jane Eyre like a fat bearded ****** with AIDS.

Charming

Omg I loved this book

it's nice and enormously pretentious to almost to the point of parody so far, just what I am about

^ Big favourite in my family. There's an old movie of it too.

Who likes, or rather, who doesn't like travel books? Paul Theroux is my favourite in this genre because he is so clever, critical, cultured and cruel. Wherever he goes, he is the prickly loner, the acute observer.

His verdict on the Spanish Riviera, the holiday destination of so many pasty Brits?

"The utterly blighted landscape of the Spanish coast.... a vile straggling sandbox....the rankness of this chain of grease-spots is beyond satire... but several aspects of this reeking vulgarity interested me."

And you'll be set for winter too. That Gnostic Bible will make great kindling.
