Libertine Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Any poet recommendations? Quite like Plath.
Lillehamring Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Any poet recommendations?Quite like Plath. ts elliot? but if you like plath then Philip larkin is probably someone you should read
Guest Bilo Posted 9 September 2009 Posted 9 September 2009 Picked this one up from ebay.Cheers...Nice easy upbeat reading!!! It is a good book though isn't it? Let's face it, a book about Auschwitz is never going to raise much in the way of giggles.
Raj Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 It is a good book though isn't it? Let's face it, a book about Auschwitz is never going to raise much in the way of giggles. I'll let u know. It was only a tongue in cheek comment about it being an easy read!! i expect it to be quite emotional.
Lillehamring Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 It is a good book though isn't it? Let's face it, a book about Auschwitz is never going to raise much in the way of giggles. that sounds like it should come from the alan partridge thread.
Guest Bilo Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 I'll let u know.It was only a tongue in cheek comment about it being an easy read!! i expect it to be quite emotional. Oops, thought you'd read it! Sorry matey. I ain't gonna lie to you fella, some of it made me feel sick when I was reading it. Brilliant book though if you want to know more about the place. that sounds like it should come from the alan partridge thread. Pipe down bridge-lover!
Flynny Posted 10 September 2009 Posted 10 September 2009 Any poet recommendations?Quite like Plath. Plath is all over the place and overly personal to the point where you don't know what she's getting at. Although I like 'Years' and a couple of others. Larkin is powerful stuff, get this. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Collected-Poems-Ph...n/dp/0571216544

Definitely interested in Larkin.
Libertine Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 About to start The Liar. Will get back to you on the ending I'm sure.
Tabou Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 My Holiday reading reviews :- Theo Paphitis Autobiography. Decent read, lot sof interesting stuff in there. I'm a big fan of Dragons Den and like James Caan inparticular, so this was a natural progression. Definately kept me entertained for a couple of days. Jonathan Ross - Why do I say these things. Shit.

Fosse Boy Posted 11 September 2009 Posted 11 September 2009 I prefer "Business Secrets of the Pharoahs" actually.
stez Posted 25 September 2009 Posted 25 September 2009 just finished listening to 'dirk gently's holistic detective agency' it was very funny, and thought provoking, as you'd expect from douglas adams
Lillehamring Posted 25 September 2009 Posted 25 September 2009 just finished 'Girl, 20' by Kingsley Amis, quality stuff... daggers, if you haven't read it, i think you'll love it... sex, alcohol and music.... Just started 'Sermons and Soda Water', by John O'hara
Flynny Posted 25 September 2009 Posted 25 September 2009 I read The Picture of Dorian Gray because I found it in the attic a few months back and thought I'd read it what with the film being out (that's no doubt a bit poor). Blew me away, I loved it.
Webbo Posted 26 September 2009 Posted 26 September 2009 Reading the new Dan Brown book atm.Lovin' it. I'm about 200 pages into it. I want to make it last until I go on holiday in a fortnight so I can start a new one then.
