Guest CabayeAye Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I've read the first few chapters, I'll not be reading any more. That would eat into the time I set aside for telling everyone else how uncool they are, all the while having nothing but shit hobbies of my own. Seriously though, any lasses who've been told it's a good book have been sold a fucking lie. Bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene_Clark 12 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've just finished "Skagboys." Like all Welsh novels it's a joy to read; the understated morality & politics blend perfectly with characters you know well enough to consider them as friends. Of course there's biting, cruel humour in every situation, as well as real pathos & superb attention to the nuances of speech & the importance of period detail. Thoroughly recommended.

Meenzer 14145 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Finally ploughed through the Stieg Larsson Millennium trilogy over the last month or so. Pretty decent page-turners, as expected. I liked the first one the best, though that might be because it was more of a conventional, self-contained thriller. Second one felt like it was treading water a bit, whereas the final instalment was lovely and meaty, though granted not everyone will get their kicks out of extensive descriptions of the history and machinations of the Swedish secret service.

Meenzer 14145 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Ploughing through some stuff that's ultimately bound for the charity shop, so this week has seen me take in Jenny Eclair's "Having A Lovely Time" and Nick Hornby's "Juliet, Naked". Both decent enough easy reads with implausibilities in terms of characterisation and, oddly enough, a female character who gets herself pregnant without the man in question knowing about it. Passed the time, but I was expecting a bit more from the latter in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
