Stuff that never really goes anywhere - brilliant.<br />Ullyses - not really. Too long and drawn out but I appreciate the theme.As for your other suggestions, well... off I go to Google ! <br />(have just checked out your blog. Get blogging again, why don't you ?)Lexia257https://www.blogger.com/profile/12656262901790598651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320280485515037254.post-9987041653001590232010-04-13T10:31:53.691-07:002010-04-13T10:31:53.691-07:00Lanark is a fine book!

One of my all time favorites. 1982 Janine is also pretty good. <br /><br />Amis jnr et al are not in the same class. <br /><br />If I were Amazon, and on the basis that you had bought Lanark, I'd been tempting you with Sam Beckett, Joyce's Ulysses, Vonnegut, Donleavy's Ginger Man, and so as not to forget the Scots, Alexander Trocchi, and yes, maybe even Irvine Welsh. (I have not read anything by Kelman, presumably recommended because he is a scot).RayHoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718310175149075991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3320280485515037254.post-90335772997612575342010-04-05T00:20:12.297-07:002010-04-05T00:20:12.297-07:00Thanks for the comment Alan.

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the title in case the temptation is too much for you ;-)Julie Dunionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14907914221714671448noreply@blogger.com
