If you are into the occult or paranormal stuff set in the early 1900s this book is for YOU!
I think I’ll give it a miss :( - I’m only really into the occult and paranormal from about 1920 onwards…

Just finished the Beach which was a lot more disturbing and more weird than the film
I finished the book at 2 o’clock one night - v disturbing ending, most cool. Haven’t read Tessract, but Coma was quite good in an under-your-skin sort of way. Shame it cost as much as a proper book though - its only little!

Decamerone by Boccaccio. Very ‘naughty’ for a book written in the Renaissance and great fun to read. Fortunately I have a superb Dutch translation.

I agree, I had to read a few of the stories in World Lit back in College. I really enjoyed them so i picked up a copy. Never finished it though. Every so often I pick it up and read a story.
A lot of dirty monks, pretty funny

Has anyone read any Tom Holt? I got one of his books for a pound in Ottakers. Haven’t started it yet, though.

Unless of course you like McDonalds. :) Or, y’know, you’ve just got a bad back or something and don’t fancy getting involved.

It’s part of the Discoworld series.
I usually hate all the Wizards and Trolls bollocks like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and all that, but these as so tongue in cheek, everything’s one big piss-take, so they’re really good fun to read.
And it’s about 15 out of a series of 27 or so, so I ain’t listing them all here mate!
