Forgot about this but to anyone interested, Vibes and Scribes do a 12e for 3 (5e each) deal on fiction, obvious titles here but still a grand deal.

Oh you bastard. I have 100+ books in my to-read pile and now there's this.  :laugh:

Seeing it in the list there, I heartily recommend A Canticle For Leibowitz.

First one that caught my eye, in fact. Any Hemmingway recommendations? I see a few there, he's someone I've wanted to read for a long time.

My old fella sent my 5 of his lately. He recommended Old Man and the Sea first followed by For Whom the Bell Tolls.

A farewell to arms is a good read.

Put in an order after I saw this, they landed on this morning. Great stuff. Picked up The Road, some Joe Hill one and Canticle for Leibowitz which has been on my wishlist for a number of years. Just started the 3rd Robin Hobb trilogy (out of 5) so it'll be a while before I get to these new ones.

Didn't see anything about delivery prices to out foren...

Old Man And The Sea is the only one I read and I thought it was great. I should read more of his stuff really

I finished KK Downing's book yesterday.
It's was terrible tripe. I didn't make me want to go through the discography as most of these type books do. He seems so bitter.
Anyway I'll have to get the Rob Halford book to see what he has to say.

The Halford one's great, apparently.

Picked up a couple of Orwell books (The Road To Wigan Pier & Down And Out In Paris And London) for £2.25 each on Amazon, if anyone's looking for a bargain.

Hears good things about Halfords book but haven't got around to it

I always find when a couple of members of bands put out an autobiography there's usually a heap of contradictions between them all, especially when one is pretty bitter about things


Diving back into Labyrinths, a series of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges. Complex and heavy reading, but fascinating and strangely humorous.
