Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

I loved this book but strangely enough I can't figure out why. It's the sort of story that usually wrecks my head! A great read though

'Walden and Civil Disobedience' - Henry David Thoreau.

Sitting in my pile, I'm looking forward to it.

Walden was a really good read and I'm now reading 'Kappa' by Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

I've got this at home but haven't begun it yet. Judging by your comment, it sounds like a sequel. If so, would i need to read previous books to get what's going on or is it just a stand alone book that happens to use the same character as before?

While there isn't a huge amount of back story, I would recommend reading them from the beginning.
-Every dead thing
-Dark Hollow
-The Killing Kind
-The White Road
-The Black Angel
-The Unquiet

Think there's another Charlie Parker one this summer, which is great

Anyway, back on-topic, just finished The Gathering by Anne Enright and it was painful. Not in the "oh its so moving and emotional and tragic" way but in the "oh dear god if I could get her I'd kill her and caring at all is proving very difficult" kind of way.

The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein

Yep I know the feeling!

I love the elements of religious fanaticism & how dangerous it is! Just finished it so this week/next week I'll be reading the Biog of Lucia Joyce (daughter of James who's been written out of history) by Carol Schloss

Eh? She's a fairly central point in most Joyce biographies and criticisms, especially those focusing on Finnegans Wake.

John, I kinda meant to the masses like I don't think she is reecognised but of course to fans of Joyce/anyone who's studied English we recognise her significance. They should make a movie about her/them, maybe they have already

I get you now, I thought you meant that no one paid her any attention. Never mind, wires and crossing and all that.

I just finished I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. Really enjoyed it. Anyone seen the film? What's better, the book or film. From what i've heard i'd say it's the book

The Game- By Neil Struss
The Dirt (Motley Crue AutoBio)- MC And Neil Struss
Filth- Irvine Walsh

A really great trio of books all good

AJG

In the middle of reading Vesaas' 'Spring Night' I also managed to squeeze in John B. Keane's 'The Field'. It was really good, I haven't seen the movie in years but it was quite different from what I remember.

Just starting 'Love In The Time Of Cholera' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
