I’m currently re-reading Cows by Matthew Stokoe. A bit of mind-fuck and very uncomfortable to read. A page turner none the less.

I try to read Kafka’s Das Schloß. Although i bought it 4 months ago i couldn’t finish it yet. And the reason is not that this book is boring or something, it’s always about time and school. School makes me tired. But Kafka has never disappointed me so i will try to finish it. Maybe in June 2006.:)

It’s a good one, but I prefer The Trial. :)

I finished Asylum, probably the most depressing book I’ve ever read (and that’s saying something!) Now I’m reading Under The Volcano by Malcolm Lowry. Another barrel of laughs :rolleyes:

Currently I’m going through ‘The Dark Angel’ by John Connolly again.
Big fan of his atmospheric ‘Charlie Parker’ horror novels and as I’m waiting for a new one to come out I’m giving his last one a rerun.

I mentioned it somewhere further up this thread - Asylum by Patrick McGrath. It was made into a film I think.
Without giving too much away, let’s just say that none of the characters are likeable and nothing good happens to them :)

Just got started on Bret Easton Ellis’ new book, Lunar Park. A part of me is regreting buying it because I found his last book a right struggle. Chuck Palanhiuk’s Haunted was really good, though.

Haha, no worries :) I’ve never seen it - best I can do is give the ol’ IMDB link:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348505/
On a side note, one of the few movies I’ve seen that I could even contemplate comparing with a book it was based on would be Trainspotting. Both movie and book are great in different ways

Dermot you’ve made my Mitchell and Webb thread die :( Where’s my info dammit?! :p
(I agree Trainspotting is a good film but it only covers about a quarter of the book, which is a shame.)

I stopped reading the BEE novel and started reading a book about ICF - West Ham football hooligans. The writing is very tight and gets to the point really well.
Not that fussed about the Welsh, it has to be said.
