"People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading"
- Logan Pearsall Smith

I enjoy classics. But not classics that people love just because they should. And I hardly ever read American literature, unless it's going to be REALLY good. European all the way. I absolutely love Penguin books and try to... more »

    I really like The Five People you Meet in Heaven! A bit standard but a nice little read :) You've convinced me to get back into reviewing so entertain yourself by my mad rambles if you're ever totally and utterly bored. LOVE

    Hey! I’m the author of Cyberfreak Debt and am looking to raise some more interest in the book (it’s already doing well on amazon – linked below). Please shelve it or check out my author reading on youtube (also linked!). Feel free to message me any time! Stu-man :-) ... @wonderboywriter on twitter

    I've been reading the "Paul" graphic novels by Michel Rabagliati lately. They're somewhere between Persepolis and Maus-type writing/storytelling. The first book (which is more a short book) in the series is "Paul In the Country" but is harder to find (but very worth-it if you can dig it up). The second book "Paul Has A Summer Job" is much easier to find, and stands alone well even if you haven't read the first book. A very well-told, on-going, poignant story of growing up in Quebec!

    Heeeeey, just over two months until I'm back to semi-normality. I no longer have Facebook and I'm not sure if your Whatsapp is working; decided that this was the best forum for contact. Tell me about your life. Also, have you read White Tiger? Right up your street I think.

    That sounds good. You can have Maus II as well now, and you could cover a few classics as well: a month in the country (which is probably my favourite book) and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (he was a mathematician so it's like course work). I also have a dozen illustrated novellas by critically acclaimed authors like J G Ballard, Paul Theroux, Fay Weldon and William Trevor, so you could sample their work as well. You can do it!

    Yes, nearly finished Maus II and I've put A sense of an ending on your pile. You should also read Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde and The headswoman by Kenneth Grahame. And I will finish Logicomix this year!
