Seen this around alot, any good? Blake was probably the poet to turn me onto poetry, before that I liked odds and ends but never really appreciated the art itself.

I think I did it backwards... John Donne got me into the artform, then someone told me to check out Blake and it turned out he was everything I'd been looking for.

THIS LOOKS GREAT

I'm gonna check out that Tim Key book too. Cheers chaps!

Read Down and Out in Paris and London again. And have started reading The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists again because I read about half of it then put it down and didn't go back to it

"Debt" is very good imo.

Currently slugging my way through:

with

to follow.

When i lived in Brooklyn years ago David Foster Wallace took over the scrolling sign at the local hardware store to put messages on it

i have no idea why

Finally starting on the 12th Wheel of Time book after spending the last few months re-reading the first 11 + prequel.

A great modern book, though not necessarily all "news" it brings a lot of previous insights together in an exceptionally lucid manner whilst still managing to break ground. I suspect it'll will go on to be a very important book for exactly that reason.

just finished...campy and ultra sarcastic




just started...some Octavia Bulter

Love the martian chronicles, such an odd book

^^^ got that for my birthday, still need to read it

do it mayne

I never thought I'd be laughing at a sci-fi novel...
Especially one that was written seriously...

- but the first 3 or 4 full stories - together - had me cracking up...


not out loud - just in my head



That was fully a classic -

i like how some of it sort of plays out like a western or something like that

Looks great, cheers.

I'm reading:


George Orwell - Homage to Catalonia

Really really great. I knew nothing about the Spanish Civil War before this so it may be biased/inaccurate but it seems quite balanced to me, as well as just a fantastic read.


Stuart Walton - Out Of It: A History of Intoxication

Pretty interesting, but if you're into the subject already there's nothing particularly new. Quotes extensively from Alexander Shulgin, which can only be a good thing imo.


Woody Guthrie - Bound For Glory

Reads like the cover, brilliant. Bob Dylan before Bob Dylan, out-Kerouacs Kerouac. Highly recommend this one.
