Just started Independent People by Harold Laxness, big Icelandic book from the 1930s.
Also a bit of Ray Carver on the side.

I dunno i really hope that something good is on the way. After Formless , Dust and Bone was to me a step backwards,  ok it broadened their sound but I felt that apart from God ether there was really no exceptional songs on it . Saw them live a few years ago and they were a mess , singer was fucked up. Hope they turn it round and I will of course buy this

Powerslave is let down i think is great but 2 or 3 weaker songs on there, same with Piece of mind.
The debut is fantastic and Number of the beast also , and Seventh Son jesus it's hard to choose

Quote from: Kunt 4 Life on May 25, 2026, 10:26:45 AMI'm also going to add that Fear of the Dark album is the weakest.
Yeah agree with that, there are a few songs on it that are ok but the much maligned no prayer for the dying is a far better album.
I'm not really going to get into the Blaze albums as I can't really listen to his voice.

Quote from: Eoin McLove on May 12, 2026, 02:31:51 AMWhat's the difference between a fridge and an arsehole?
A fridge doesn't fart when you pull the meat out.

How do non- binary people kill people?
They / them.


I don't get the 2nd joke

Quote from: Necro Red on May 07, 2026, 11:13:59 AMI finished Frankenstein there yesterday. Fairly impressive a 20 year old conjured this together. I didn't find it overly engaging, yet it is very well written. Perhaps dated in the way it's written. I was expecting it to be a bit more about the monster really. Still decent though

Read Frankenstein last year I think . Really enjoyed it. Was surprised some of it was set in Ireland.
