Uni means I have to be!
What are you reading right now? Page 100
Quote: David Bussell @ March 9 2010, 11:17 AM GMTAmazing, isn't it? I particularly enjoyed the epilogue stuff with all the Ripper experts chasing the identity of the killer with butterfly nets.
I'm reading the the shit out of The Walking Dead right now, which just gets better and better. Once I'm done with that I'm getting eye deep in Tales Designed to Thrizzle.
Indeed it is ace.
How ever the best bit is when The Ripper knocks Peter Sutcliffe off his bike.
And the jumbo conspiracy ripper monster at the end.

Good though where you upto?
Must be a serious King fan.
HAve you reached the but where it fills with soup yet?

House with an interesting history, if anyone has £3m to spare they could save it from the developers.

"No Vacancy" by Nelly Graff, which my American Studies tutor let me borrow from her to do my coursework with. It's the experiences of a woman who managed a motel and motor home park in the 30s and 40s, and the copy I'm reading is from 1950, so I'm very nervous about it.
I've just read Karen Rose - Don't Tell.
Not a happy book, but it was quite gripping at the end.

Finished it a few weeks back. I wouldn't consider myself a big King fan, I just read a good review and decided to take the plunge. It was good fun in a cliched sort of way. The hero is, honest to God, a soldier turned short-order cook called into action for one last time...
Well yes and a vicious torturer of Iraqis.
And the villain is a dmenented fundamentalist used car sales man modelled on GW Bush.
I do like having such a befty book on the Tube. Makes me feel armed with literature.

You're just dying to tackle a young thug with the line: "But being as this is a .44 Magnum Opus, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

And if you wrote it before it happened, no one would've believed you, eh?

I've bought this and fully intend to read the living f**k out of it over the long weekend.
My holiday reading about to begin - The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley
