Well I already knew most of that from his TV shows, I was hoping for a bit more in depth stuff. I suppose I just wanted to cheat and be as good as him without the trial and error which is never going to happen.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
That Dan Brown book is the 2nd worst book i've ever read.
He can concoct a good plot but his dialogue and characterization are woefully bad and funny until you remember just how muchn cash he's raked in

Currently reading The Life and Death of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs for a class at Uni, and surprisingly it's fantastic.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
A Dan Brown novel recipe: take a load of research you've paid other people to do, throw in one main two-dimensional character and a plethora of minor one-dimensional ones and mix with three million cliff-hangers. Then lay it all out in 36 million two-paragraph chapters, whilst phoning your agent to get the latest bidding on the film rights.

If the cunt spent even half the time on his writing that he does on his plotting, he could actually turn out a half decent novel. Why doesn't he just admit he wants to be a film director?

Just finished the Bryson one last night , thought it was very good with some laugh out loud sections.

Yeah they made a show about it a while back, he slags the place off something wicked (especially the plastic palm tree in Lime Street) and back in the 80s described the place as having a 'festival of litter' although he also says its his favourite English city (!)

Some of his observations are spot on though, like tha fact that the English are the only people in the world who'd find enjoyment in eating chips on a seaside prom while taking cover from the rain - so true, spent many a childhood year doing just that!

Notes from Down under is a good read too!

120 Days of Sodom - Marquis de Sade, also re-reading (yet again) The Stand by Stephen King, and finishing off by re-reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L Shirer.

Tokyo Year Zero, the first of David Peace's Japanese trilogy.
Bar the timeline and change in environment, no great departure from his Leeds crime fiction.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Anyone ever read any Dean Koontz novels? - I read Mr Murder the other week, my bird raved off it but it was quite boring and had tons of background detail for such a basic straightforward story.

When was that on?

Reading about his experience in Dover was funny, some crappy old B & B he stayed in ran by some battleaxe. Been to Dover a few times for work and it's grim!.

He wasn't complimentary about Liverpool but knows that the place at least has character!

Bryson rules. Read all his books to date, with Down Under being the one that had the most laugh out loud moments for me (although I did hear somewhere there is another book out?)

Currently reading the only John O'Farrell book I've not yet read - May Contain Nuts. Can highly recommend it.
