Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What are you reading these days

Good. I was hoping that it wasn't creative license by the director.

I can see the scene when he is in the record shop clear as day in my mind.

No Glossary in this one!

And I haven't given up on it yet.

It's interesting, in an odd way..

Okay, I am convinced. I will pick it up again tonight.

I have just finished reading the excellent, hilarious and informative "A Year In the Merde". Yesterday I bought the follow-up, "Merde Actually".

I also recently got a book documenting the making of Jean Michel Jarre's 2006 "Water for Life" concert and a book of artwork by Michel Granger, who produced several of Jarre's album covers, including Oxygene, Equinoxe and Rendezvous.

I got quite a few books over Christmas and have stupidly started on 3 at once; 'Piece by Piece' by Paul Morley - this is his collected writings on Joy Division, 'Strange Attractor journal 3' - reportage on the unusual and the eccentric, and 'Counterfeit Worlds: Philip K. Dick on Film' by Brian J. Robb...to be honest I've only read the Bladerunner and A Scanner Darkly chapters.

what's the title of that one?

I bought loads of books on my return to the homestead , the newly appointed European Capital of Excessive Lager Drinking . I started with the lightweight 99p "bargain" "Who ate all the pies ?" Mick Quinn's autobiog I think it must have been ghostwritten by a shellsuited moustachioed Harry Enfield He attempts to come across as the lovable Scouse rogue and fails miserably IMHO at least I'm looking forward to the Peter Robinson stuff tho
Hello there Rads if you are still around And Mr D Did you get to Fiattown in the end ?

I got into the Ian Rankin 'Rebus' novels a while back, so I've started reading those in the order they were published which has been good. Seeing how the character has developed over a series is something I've never really got into before as my reading has usually been a bit eclectic. Saying that, I also got Piers Morgan's diaries cheap in a second hand bookstore over Christmas, so I've just finished that. Despite my initial thoughts on what it would be like it was rather a good and entertaining read...
