What's a little sin to see us through?

Genius and Lust: a journey through the major writings of Henry Miller by Norman Mailer. It's a big f*cker, but if anone can get inside Miller's head it's Norman Mailer. Had this reserved at Oxfam for ages, can't wait to wrap me noggin around it.

Whiskey, painkillers and speed will carry me there.....

My American friend Gene forwarded me this piece. I think you'd really enjoy it, Doc.

It it really good! I borrowed it from the library in december, but I really want to read it again before the movie.

Lord Sunday- Garth Nix.

Yes, I know it's a kid's book, but I started reading them when they first came out and I'll be damned if I'm not finishing the entire series!

(Silly people taking a decade to get the damn things out!)

What's a little sin to see us through?

Sexus, Plexus and Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller.

The first two are the only of his 'major' works that I haven't read, and I've been after a new copy of Capricorn for ages cos mines a sh*tty old BCA edition from the 70s and I hate it. Happily, all three books I bought are in the same edition, which is also the same edition as my copy of Nexus so they look sweet as f*ck all sat there together on my shelf.

Rayanne Graff: His name is George. Also, he started Spam.

Rayanne Graff: i spoke to him a couple of times and that was in October of 2009.

the doc: Wow, a proper old head

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, he was the 15th person to join.

satansrubberduck: I didn't directly start Spam. Also the proof of that long since disappeared.

Rayanne Graff: No, it didn't; the Spam spam spam you made in 2002 is on page 105 of the Spam board.

satansrubberduck: Oh. I looked for it years ago and couldn't find it. The colour tags are (thankfully) broken.

satansrubberduck: Odd to think it's been over a decade since I first got involved with 'Zine.

Claire: It's not odd to me since I've just had the exact same conversation with you...

I Cunt Spell: YOU'RE ALL OLD

I Cunt Spell: SO VERY VERY OLD

Captain Stupendo: SRD made an appearence holy moly haven't seen him on here for years

Maeby: JIM!

the doc: Wow, event Starws isn't here tonight

the doc: Straws ^

the doc: *whistles*

the doc: Ah well, off I go as well then

Rayanne Graff: Sorry, Stu; i was busy tidying things. xx
