Books Not Recomended

AC, tell your Missus you found it uninspired, and demand 'Grains and Tubers Returns, 1937-1950, Rostov Province' (in Russian, of course). Now considered a classic, particularly the records for 1941 at the Miniskirtzky Commune, where bosses were caught with their pants down when their rutabagas flopped.

I also read Lovely Bones recently. Over written, self indulgent pseudo therapeutic Californian twaddle.

American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis is the worst book I ever read.

The Bible.........very long, lots of sex and death, holy plot and TOTALLY unbelievable!! :shy:

 

[Melendez]

Given that it's such a best seller, I wonder what proportion of those that own one have ever read it.

But Revelations did 'trippy' much better than anything by the Beat writers - way ahead of its time, man! Proving that half the population was out of its brains on chewing 'ghat' and putting some interesting stuff in their hubbly-bubbly pipes (as Alice's caterpillar later found out).

"Whoahhh... did you see that?"

"Whaah?"

"The beast with the sixes on its head... "

"Naaah. I've got some sparkly candlesticks an' stuff. The beast sounds cool."

"Shall we add it?"

"Sure, yeah. After all those feckin boring apostles, it needs spicing up a bit or we'll never shift it."

I loved American Psycho.

Anything by Nick Mordin.

And I've always found the Timeform annuals over-rated...

That's $2.43m rather than $12m, isn't it? Or am I confused?

No, I am. I must have been thinking of bloodstock prices...

More haste less speed, and certainly less accuracy. Sorry.

I'm with Bar The Bull on this. Having also read Less Than Zero I am convinced that it is his staccato style that is the problem.

I further believe that he could have made his point about consumerism in a less boring manner, instead of hammering the point home every second fucking page. Cock.
