Whoops. Thats what happens when you don't read threads properly. AGAIN.

Ah well. What I said just above. but in the other thread. yeah, that sorted it. phew!

Absolutely. That's the joy of the Kerbling 'system' - someone will usually offer a friendly pointer to the earlier thread.

i'll defer to it

Is there a way to lock a thread?

No worries! The other aspect to a kerbling is natural selection... one thread will thrive, t'other will wither.

i have been reading bukowski's women. ive decided not to carry on. it lacks alot of what i loved in his other books.

ive now started reading knut hamsuns hunger. amazing so far.

has anyone read the dice man? got recommended it last night, sounds interesting.

Don Quixote. It's a massive undertaking, but it's made me laugh out loud a number of times.

Last week I read Funnymen by Ted Heller, a fictional biography of a comedy duo loosely based on Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, and Force Majeur by Bruce Wagner, who writes black comedies about Hollywood. I've now read all of Wagner. He's great - mercilessly unpleasant.

I'm reading Butterfly Stories by William T. Vollman now. I never warmed to Vollman, though I read a lot of stuff in this vein. I guess this is his most accessible book. He puts out pounds of prose every year so I doubt I could ever read all of him.

I'm reading Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches cycle. Not classical literature, but something to keep you occupied when you're on the john or on a cig break.

Give it a chance, it's a good read from front to back.
