whatsya reading ?, by Deleted on Feb 13, 2015 23:39:25 GMT 1, 1984 is a beaut, but an appeciation of the mindset & period it was written doubles its effect- it works as a straightforward novel though

Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution (It's not) - Stephen Knight. I've read it loads. I just like his enthusiasm (the author's, not Jack the Ripper).
Alone in Berlin - Hans Fallada - An amazing book. One that I found quite powerful and also a good reminder that with just bravery and a pen, anyone can stand against tyranny.
Frankie Boyle: My s**t Life So Far - Read any of his books. Look beyond any "offensive" humour and ignore the tabloid press, you'll find he's a really intelligent, astute and a morally sound individual. Funny too.
Banksy: Wall and Piece - I read this at least once a week. I wish to f**king god he'd put another book out. Someone, anyone please tell him to put another book out.
Jerry Robinson: Ambassador of Comics - Just enjoying some quality old sequential panel artwork (comics).
Oh, and 1984 is well worth reading. Took me 34 years to get around to it, but it's a decent read.

There seemed to be too many characters in there to begin with I was getting hung up on trying to understand everyone and everything when in fact you don't need too, I soon got into it after day 2, might be worth a retry fella, it's an amazing book
