Yea that would be excellent! he hasn't played with Gong for a few years though so might be tricky but he did play Glasto Fayre with 'em so how about a reunion?

Back on books, any fans of Million little pieces might also like 'Dangerous Parking' by Staurt Browne which my head is burried in at present!

[bunique]

*ahem* Oy you!!!

*mutters about not bothering to type anything ever again cos no-one bloody takes any notice*

Although I'm ashamed to say I stopped reading again for a while. Picked it up again last week and am completely engrossed again (urgh, got to the toenail bit last night, not what I wanted to read before going to sleep!)

Ooh, nice one, might have to get that

Im currently in the middle of Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Its six very different stories set in different time periods that are all linked together

im reading a million little peices too...its a amazing book and just so moving. i have come to so close to crying at some bits. he tells his story in such a blunt way that it helps you understand what shit has happened in his life because of drinking and drugs.

everyone has to read it.

Right now I'm reading The Pirates! in an Adventure With Scientists, and also The Pirates! in an Adventure With Whaling, written by Gideon Defoe. Both good comedy books, and full of pirates- what more could you want?

I don't post much in this thread, but I love my books, I do

Although I note that many people on here read fiction, but I am more of a non-fiction addict really. Currently reading a fascinating anthropological look at us - Watching The English, by Kate Fox. It goes into why we talk as we do and why we behave as we do (including things like what we do when someone tries to queue jump )

And as it's about us English, it is of course, obsessed with the C word......CLASS

Yea I read million little pieces last year, absolutely amazing book, read the whole thing in 3 days I was so absorbed in it. He has a new book out following the story of Leonard(?) which has excellent reviews but my bank says no.

[coolethan]

I'm reading Salaam Brick Lane by Tarquin Hall which is an interesting book about living in the East End. Its funny and well written, there are some lovely description and it pulled me in right away.

I read the Da Vinci code recently, I ignore religion at all costs really so dont know much about anything, but the story was interesting. It was teribly written though, Dan Brown wouldnt recognise a simile if it battered him over the head with a giant oxo cube. I actualy underlined one it was so bad, i cant remember it word for word but it was something like "weary travelers waiting at baggage claim for a mysterious package whose contents were unkown" How many weary travelers wait for a mysterious package? and Surely if its mysterious its obvious the content is unknown?

Andy Kauffman biography, Lost in the Funhouse is great and the Johnny Cash autobiography is brilliant, though a little self indulgent.

I'm going through a couple of books a day at the moment as its the summer and I have naff all else to do!

[fenderstratz]

Reading "Wolves of the Calla" by Stephen King at the moment. Part of his "Dark Tower" series which he's been releasing for 20 odd years.

Last book read was "Yes Man" by Danny Wallace

Favourite Author?I have many

Favourite Book would be Around Ireland with a Fridge" by Tony Hawkes

[hel0rz]

Currently reading "Dracula" - a bit boring in places but I'm determined to finish it.

Last book read was "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King - equally brilliant as the film, perhaps one of the few books in which a move replicates a book to the letter. Highly reccommend it.

I totally agree. The Green Mile was another of his which was almost identical to the film, must be something to do with prison books
