Grapes of Wrath is certainly worth persevering with.

[Necro Red]

Currently half way through "You've Got Red On You" the making of Shaun Of The Dead. A great read, especially if you are a big fan of the movie as I am.

[Eoin McLove]

That sounds like fun! Great film and I like that scene.

[Don Gately]

Great film. The lads attacking the zombie with records must be the funniest scene ever in a horror film. Must check it out

I can't recommend it enough, does go into great detail without becoming a chore to read. Great nerdy book

'From Bantry Bay to Leitrim' by Peter Somerville-Large, its about O'Sullivan Beare's long march in 1603.
The author comes across as a Trinity college smart alec in his interactions with local people as he was reproducing the winter march back in the early 70's.  The historical background of the places he visited is decent enough though

Just starting Adam Kay's This Is Going To Hurt. Picked it up for a Euro during the summer, looking forward to it.

Finished Grapes of Wrath. A beautifully written exercise in misery. Something more lighthearted up next I think.

[Eoin McLove]

Dunno if you've ever gone down an Ian McEwan road but Nutshell is a short little ripper that will entertain you from the first sentence. It's fucking mental.

Nice one. I haven't but I've seen you on about him on numerous occasions.

[Eoin McLove]

He is spectacular in his skill. He was known as Ian McCarbre in his early years as he has a streak of darkness through his writing but he is fucking funny too.

Just a little way into Babylon by Paul Kriwaczek. History of early mesopotamian civilization(s). Fascinating so far and even more interesting in light of reading Persian Fire by Tom Holland last year, an excellent history of later Persian-Greek struggle in the region and the Mediterranean.

Just starting Adam Kay's This Is Going To Hurt. Picked it up for a Euro during the summer, looking forward to it.

Good read. The "de-gloving" incident is burned into my memory.   

[Necro Red]

Nearly finished A Clockwork Orange. Strangly written and I'm quite enjoying it. A short read too

Good read. The "de-gloving" incident is burned into my memory.   

Legs were crossed at that bit alright, shades of the water pump story in Palahniuk's Haunted.

Coincidentally enough, I see there's a series based on it starting on one of the BBC channels soon.
