Bon Nadal i bones festes, vosaltres conys gruixuts

I blame that for the penguin nightmares.

 

"Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"

 

Blimey, yes I'd forgotten about that. It was too much Poe.

 

....and Lovecraft:

Lady Nina says...

Sounds a bit Tinky-Winky to me

 

Now that's the one. I think it's because I'm trying to forget. I think
I was about 20 when I read it. I went from Lovecraft a wandering
through all the sub Lovecraft authors (Lumley, Barker) but the genre
no longer appeals to me.

Might be time to dig them out for Joe <g>

 

Have you encountered Clark Ashton Smith?

 

Doesn't ring any bells. Stop recommending stuf, despite the huge
inroads made over the week (and 'lhe lovely bones' gets another
recommendation) the book pile and list is still enormous.

 

Okay, how about Robert W Chambers' /The King In Yellow/?

 

Shut Up. La la la. And all that.

 

Oh don't you fucking start <g> It is now next. Then the rest of the
books I borrowed from Steph. There's only so many hours in the day,
it's no wonder I never get any sleep <wanders off muttering>

 

Heheheh. Gene Wolfe.

 

Yes. About 10 years ago. I've always read more fantasy than sci-fi
though I've dabbled in Asimov et al.

<waves fantasy stick>
Go and read Mists of Avalon. And McCaffrey and Katherine Kerr.

I tend to read modern novels (last 50 years) more than anything else
atm. That and myth stuff. The best of them incorporate both <g>

 

Is it? Oh. Did I say I enjoyed the Bad Mother's Handbook btw? The
problem is Brick Lane is on the pile of books next to the bed and for
some reason I haven't been reading in bed for a few months. I'll move
it onto one of the other piles.

Good this holiday lark isn't it?

Music, that's what I've not chosen today. I've been treated to all 3
Queen greatest hits CDs and some strange modern stuff. Oh I did hear
The Killers Mr Brightside - reminds me of The Bluetones but not at all
like them IYSWIM

<fires up winamp>

<Hits random >

I don't fecking believe it - Queen Bohemian Rhapsody!

<hits random>

James - sit down.

<sways along>
