Fearful tomes Page 3

Strangest book (apart from the many alien / conspiracy ones) is I suppose The Last Laugh script book. I call it strange because it's utterly useless to mankind, in that it was originally for a BBC talent competition in 2005 and contains the first 20 minutes of numerous sitcoms that applicants were meant to finish for the comp. The only reason I've kept it is because the BBC sent me a copy signed by every writer. So amongst its pages are signatures from the likes of Armstrong & Bain, Marks & Gran, Ian Patterson etc. I basically daren't throw it away because I genuinely believe it's bad juju to do so.

Sometimes I want to burn it. Is that bad?

I got a copy which I've kept, too.

Has anyone tried Mein Kampf or Das Capital? Page turners no doubt. They must have English translations?

I might have a copy of the Tibetan book of the dead knocking around somewhere. One of these days I will have to read it.

But I did read James Boswell's Life Of Samuel Johnson from cover to cover and it is a cracking read. Sex, violence, and lexicography with a side order of sizzling hot gypsies.

I don't know if it's true or not but I remember someone saying to me years ago english versions of Mein Kampf are banned in the UK. As I said, no idea if it's true.

I'd like to read that. Curiosity and that.

But gawd, it'd be hard bloody work to slog through. Maybe they could make a condensed version. Mein Kampf For Dummies.

You'd have to read it in a really angry voice and wave your arms around to get the true feel.

That's how I always read books.

Dear diary

Talked to Aaron today. Will invade Poland after all.

It's good to share hobbies.

Rubbish answer. Here's porn as written by SlaggA,

"These did some stuff together which might have been sex,"
and Lassie by SlaggA.
"This animal which might have been a dog did stuff and may have come home at some point,"

Titles SlaggA.

Ah, I'll dig out some - some are very VERY odd. Please don't hate me for them.

Am away in Londinium tomorrow but the day after, eh? If there is one.

London eh?
I'm always in London, what you doing in Sootyj's hood?
