What about it?

The Visit - Surprisingly good. But not great.

Skyrim, gone full vampire and I can't sneak into anyone's house to suck their blood because wherever I go people go nuts and attack me, I am hated.

Finished Umbrella by Will Self, very good book once you get past the whole endless sentence business. Moving onto The Heart Goes Last by Margaret Atwood.
I've got "My Idea of Fun" here by Self, haven't finished it yet.
It also has some rather long running sentences.
At the beginning it felt unwieldy but by the end I was completely absorbed in the style, to the point I felt that it might ruin my reading of other books.
No paragraphs, no chapter headings, rare punctuation and switches from character to character and time period to time period without notice or warning.
But I loved it, and will definitely get Shark, which I hear is written in a similar style.
Have you read any Hubert Selby JR? Sounds similar to his style.

The Devil in the White City, think this one could be horrific.
-
Spectre - Proper boring.

'Tis the season for M.R James.

Beaten by three minutes^ Nevermind.

double indemnity - awesome. quite a straight-forward story for a classic noir and it benefits for it. great writing, acting and directing.
Hell yes, been rewatching some Billy Wilder recently, man was a genius.

Reading The Wicked and The Divine, fucking love discovering Kieron Gillen again after all these years, he was my favourite reviewer when I was a nerdy teen devouring PC Gamer.

Wytches by Scott Snyder, never been really creeped out by a graphic novel before but this one is doing the business.
ta for this Mr Tec, not really a graphic novel fan since Arkham Asylum (sp?), but this is heaviness. Its so subtle and visceral at the same time and really bores into subconscious/parental fear buttons with the skill of a psych-surgeon and the imagery/story to underpin it all. Sorted 2 problem xmas-wank presents too.
its truly been a benevolent universe today, strewth Ruth & tips cap
Awesome, glad to hear it mate.

^That's a really good comic. Have you ever read Fell by Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith? That's also p creepy.
I had to restart Authority by Jeff Vandermeer after putting it down for so long. Also reading a bunch of books about teaching and literary theory for dummies.
Yup, picked it up on a recommendation from here actually! Really enjoyed it but breaks my heart that there hasn't been a second volume.

If anyone knows of any jobs going in London hook me up as mine is very dull, I'll house-sit your cat for minimum wage, almost anything will do.

I really like it but 40 quid is a piss-take, unless it's signed or something.

Why would you sit on that bench for so long waiting for a creepy fucker without looking about though.

total FWP= i've gained some weight lately by not watching what i eat. it's not that noticeable but i feel bad so i'm going to cut out snacking. i love snacking! for atleast a week and see what happens.
It's December, you're allowed to get fat.

My scooter throttle acts up randomly for about ten minutes whenever I use it, the back light is fucked so I can either have that on or the brake light but never both yet I'm too broke to fix it. I feel like I'm driving a death trap to work, and the weather sucks.

A friend used to work in a bookshop (Borders on Charing Cross Road) and one day a customer was in the ladies toilets and heard a bloke loudly coughing above her. She started screaming and security chucked him out, they found loads of food and a sleeping bag in the roof, seems like he had been there a few weeks.

Hey if money flies out of your ass I'll line up and take a handful
no! sorry, assholes have a purpose...
Opinions are like assholesi definitely am a better human being than anyone who watches that show.
Look at the hatred this show creates, it's heartbreaking.

You can't say that without giving us the details, come on man!

Even if it's gone for good it's still far more than we could have ever expected, AFX is the daddy, thank you.

Just finished ballard's high rise. Surreal and violent and I love how all the building inhabitants just give themselves freely, unquestioningly, to the madness.
Fuck yeah, I would have got involved with that shit too, can't wait for the film.
-
I still enjoyed it. Any other good horrors out at the mo? Tried Spring but the brofest in the first ten minutes meant I couldn't go any further.
How did you get into Ae?

I was getting into everything Warp records and HMV had a sale on where all CD's from them were buy one get one half price, cash was tight but decided to take a punt and bought Incunabula. I didn't have the music choice available to us now so I stuck with it for awhile, took some time to click but when it did I delved further, got LP5 and they totally kicked my arse. Been a fan since. I occasionally wonder how much new music I miss now because of how rarely I give it a chance unlike in the past.
