i'm reading neil gaiman's "anansi boys", and have had hysterics at least four times already, even though i'm only about a quarter of the way through.  now there's someone who can write a book.  not literary, of course, but i love his mind...

Anansi's a great book. I read it a couple of months ago, and enjoyed every single page. Have you read American Gods?

yes - all of his. i love stardust, cos it's beautiful - almost like william blake's stuff.  or whatisname - macdonald's phantasm.  and his short stories are fab, too.  and neverwhere.  erm...

that's all he's written, isn't it?  lol.

oph, but good omens with terry pratchett is fucking hilarious - i actually had to put that book down because i was laughing so much, i couldn't see the words through the tears.  i also woke the neighbours doing so - at 04.00.

vaughan williams' fat bottomed girls !!!   :laugh:

Get a decent copy. The illustrations are wonderful but the trade paperback is of poor quality.

I've read all the sandman books, but I never got round to reading his prose novels.   It was this quote from him that put me off them , when he said "Sandman is my life work,  the prose novels are just trivia to fill in the time" or something like that.  I could never motivate myself to read them after hearing that.

Anne Rice is just outputting text these days. The last book by her that was reasonably good was the Witching Hour, and she's managed to output about a gazillion vampire books since then.

I enjoyed Interview with the vampire- but the ones after that were just tedious.  T've read The Witching Hour, but wasn't that impressed with that either.  I keep meaning to read the Beauty series of books she did- but because most of her stuff sucks I can't make myself buy them in case they suck too.

Ok, basically the lamo talk never really got off the ground since it was a link that had already been posted a couple of days earlier.   Nomaken touched on the idea of an in crowd and an out crowd, mcjagger of course made an innuendo about sex; we discussed the fact it was a British only site; we talked about Heathers for a bit; that lead to talk about Christian Slater; which lead us to talk about Interview with the vampire; which lead to talk about Anne Rice.


That do ya?  :laugh:
