I used pelican brief to wipe my bottom but it wasn't even useful for that after I cut my ringpiece :(

I heard on the radio this morning that the son of Mervyn Peake is to write a sequel to the Gormenghast trilogy.Have you read these?The first two are the most captivating books I've ever read.Couldn't get through the third.It was said that it was written whilst he had gone totally ga-ga as a consequence of what he witnessed in the liberated Nazi death camps.

Michael Marshal Smith or Iain Banks novels Id suggest. I LOVE Iain Banks' 'Culture' novels myself

John Connely also top quality.

And my fave ever book The Hitchhikers Guid to the Galaxy

If you liked the road read other Cormac McCarthy it's great.

Also if you liked the Southern Gothicness of it try other southern gothic writers like Faulkner.

Can't be doing with all this fiction twoddle.If you can get into reading about the Napoeonic War,especially Wellington in the Peninsular,you've got an interest for life.

Many great biogs of the Duke,Sultan.Queen Victoria called him "The greatest Englishman who ever lived".Never lost a gun in all his many battles.Inspirational!

as i posted on another thread an unusual crime thriller which I loved but which no-one else I come across seems to have read is Motherless Brooklyn by Jonathan Lethem.It features a 'detective' who has Tourettes Syndrome and is orignal, moving and extremely funny.
