  1. been on a bit of an Orwell kick recently

     

    recently read:

     

    Animal Farm - good

    Down and Out in Paris and London - great

    Success (Martin Amis) - not great

     

    now reading:

     

    Burmese Days

     

    read a little of The Waves (Virginia Woolf) as well but the soliloquy style she uses in it isn't something i really enjoy

    Keep the Aspidistra Flying bey. One more one more. Its the American teenage angst graphic novel of the 1930s even with the acceptance of being a grown up.
  2. Home and Bargains often have one off beers for 99p or less. Bought a fair few of these recently in Shrewsbury..

     

    Oakham beers buy on sight. The other one is a collaboration between Brewdog and Yeastie Boys (Beer makers love a pun) - really hoppy black porter with a head that would make Divine Brown proud.

  3. Love that Ballard cover. The way he describes the workers at the shopping centre and his writing of the commuter belt of the M25. 

     

    Just finished the Pale King. When he describes the involuntary sweating and the pages where the characters project themselves into other places are so good. Through boredom you can achieve nirvana. Anyone who has been on a long bicycle journey, the monotony and daily routine of wild camping fits in with this.
