What book are you reading?

**Wed Nov 25, 2009 5:24 pm**

The Sunday Philosophy Club - The Careful Use of Compliments

Through the Fields to School - Alice Taylor

Seems like I'm choosing all happy, easy books lately!

**Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:01 am**

Have now moved on to Nick Cave's The Death of Bunny Munro.

**Sat Dec 05, 2009 3:00 pm**

Mr reading list for Christmas reads as follows:

Hedda Gabler - Henrik Ibsen
Three Theban Plays (Antigone, Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colunus) - Sophocles
Under Milk Wood - Dylan Thomas
The Cherry Orchard - Anton Chekhov
The Crucible - Arthur Miller

Now where do I start?

Philip, I seem to have lost the thread where J.P. Donleavy was mentioned but you were right: my very tatty copy of Fairy Tales of New York is the play version. Not as exciting as Heather's Christmas reading list. And still unrelated to and not as good as what I’m hoping to hear on Friday in Brixton

Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles"

And from that feel-good novel i've moved on to a biography of Townes Van Zandt - A Deeper Blue, by Robert Earl Hardy. It gets pretty harrowing towards the end of his life. I think i'd blocked out that part of the story from the film (Be Here To Love Me). Fuck, i gotta read me a book with a happy ending one of these days, i'm sending myself into depression.

Thank YOU O great Gods for throwing this bone to Irish author Eoin Colfer (author of the execellent Artemis Fowl series). Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian, The Heart Of Gold... they're all back! (Did they ever leave?)

YAY!

Grab your towel, mix up a GargleBlaster, get froody, and read on.....

Actually, it's not the Gods you have to thank, but Adams' widow. Wikipedia tells me: Colfer was given permission to write the book by Adams's widow Jane Belson.

I've bought this book for my son for xmas, and can't wait till i can get my hands on it (i've resisted temptation to crack the spine, it's hard). This will hopefully be the book to lift me out of the depression i seem to be reading myself into.

Just started a Christmas gift......."I slept with Joey Ramone" the new bio by Joey's brother.

**Thu Dec 31, 2009 11:58 am**

Bill Hicks: Love All the People

a xmas gift that I really didn't expect to get but has made me put down the books I was reading.

I am reading The Lightning Thief

I am only on the second chapter. :oops:

Well I guess there is like twenty chapters in it. :lol:

**Sat Jan 02, 2010 8:53 pm**

Paul Shaffer's "We'll Be Here For The Rest Of Our Lives. A fantastic look into the show biz life of a guy who has a lot to talk about.

My 10 year old son read it this fall and loved it.

I am currently reading '10,000 ways to die' by Alex Cox (yes the Straight to Hell Alex Cox) which is the history of Spagheti Westerns film by film. Absolute quality

Over the next few weeks I will be reading:

Blood Brothers - Willie Russell
Mother Courage and Her Children - Bertolt Brecht
Three Dublin Plays - The Shadow of A Gunman, Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and The Stars - Sean O'Casey.

I got them with an amazon voucher i received off my sister and her family for Christmas. The latter two are mentioned in my course and I thought I would it would be a good idea to read Blood Brothers before I go and see it in April (as I've never seen it before and I want some idea of the story).

Heather u must be the only person in Liverpool who hasnt seen Blood Brothers ha ha. Personally, as somebody who has treaded the boards over the years, all the Willy Russell stuff has worn me down ha ha. That said the first time I saw Blood Brothers I thought it was amazing and I reckon you will too
