Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I've not yet read anything by Martin Amis, or his father for that matter.
Is there a novel by either of them you would recommend?

Money, The Information, London Fields are the ones I'd recommend. Lionel Asbo is ok too. I never bothered with his historical or surrealist historical stuff, that stuff doesn't interest me.
