Ok Folks,besides snuffhouse what are you reading,im currently reading my favourite author Stephen King and the book is Duma Key. Maybe you have a favourite book/snuff combie.With this current read im finding toque bourbon and Jim Beam black to be very agreeable with me.It dont get much better than this for me. Next book for me will likely be Charles Dickens David Copperfield. Simon
Cool, Iām a huge Stephen King fanā¦I think possibly my favourite read was Salemās Lot, or maybe Bag of Bones. At the moment Iām readingā¦ English Gothic: A Century of Horror Cinema by Jonathan Rigby.
WEB Griffin, Death and Honor and FA Hayek, The Road To Serfdom.
Ah ha! That explains Peter Cushing! I am currently reading āThe Steel Remainsā by Richard Morgan. Very good so far.
Salems lot and B of B are both great reads,i have read all bar his latest After sunset but im not keen on hardbacks so i have to wait that bit longer for the new ones lol. If you havenāt read the talisman i highly recommend it.Co-Written with peter straub and is more Horror/Fantasy than some of his others.I was snivelling in my snuff hanky at the end of it lol. Simon
currently read the snuff list! Though the book Iāve been reading in my spare time is ānova Expressā by uncle bill (william Burroughs). Great story. Oddly clove snuff seems to go with it the best. Just finished reading āagain dangerous visionsā which is a collection of short science fiction stories that kick ass.
Iām reading several books at the moment - the one I have with me is āMoab Is My Washpotā by Stephen Fry, The Worldās Greeatest Living Englishman.
bob - William Burroughs is pretty good. Iāve read The Western Lands, Junky, and Naked Lunch. I tend to think of him as someone who paints with words rather than a writer. Today Iām reading Winter Dreams by F. Scott Fitzgerald for American Lit Class.
Indian history :o) And I recently finished the trilogy by Stieg Larsson, and Saturday went to see the first volume, which has been made a film āMen who hates womenā - absolutely awesome movie!!
On my bedside table is of course - āA Pinch of Snuffā - a Dalziel & Pascoe novel. :o)
Groo the Wanderer
The 12 Caesars by Seutonius
Groo is awesome.
This discussion.
Glad someone knows Groo. Thom Hartmann is pretty good too.
If by reading you mean āin the middle ofā ā¦ Iām reading David Copperfield, by Dickens, āgirlsā by nic helman, The Wizard by Gene Wolfe, andā¦ probably a couple other ones. My tendency is to read a hundred pages or so of a book, switch to another and read some of that, then another, and then maybe read a whole book, and then a month later come back to what I read a hundred pages of. As far as actively reading, The Knight of the Maison-Rouge by Alexander Dumas (my three favorite authors are Dās: Dickens, Dostoevsky, Dumas).
Know what you mean gilgawulf, I tend to have about four on the go at any given time, usually three history books and a modern novel. The novel at the moment is āUnder enemy coloursā by Sean Thomas Russell - Napoleonic era along the C.S Forrester lines. Dickens, try as I might, is an author I just canāt get into. The only one Iāve finished is, rather predictably, āA Christmas Carolā. I do however love āCrime and Punishmentā. The bleak Russian spirit has always appealed to me.
You know, I donāt think I got into Dickens all that much until I found out that Dostoevsky liked him. I think after that I started to see a bit more of the humor in Dickens, a similar humor to what I find in Dostoevsky (albeit perhaps a bit less bipolar and/or prone to fits of despair). How is C.S. Forrester? Is it all swashbuckling and the like, or more focused on historicity? Because, as my interest in Dumas should attest, Iām a sucker for swashbuckling tales of adventures on the high seas &tc.
Forrester - good. Iām also in the middle of the 4th Horatio Hornblower novel (finished Groo last night). Yes, very swashbuckling type stuff, but a bit more character too. If you get a chance there was a series of TV movies a few years ago based on these books. All good.
