Music Banter - What are you reading right now?

I've only read maybe one or two others by her and sure, they're definitely on the creepy side, but a book with an emotionless sociopath narrator just gives me the willies. Same thing with Lolita.

Ew I hated Lolita so much, everyone always talks about how they end up sympathising with Humbert Humbert and I felt absolutely none for him.

Have you read Filth by Irvine Welsh? Bruce Robertson knocks HH out of the park on creeper level

Nope. I'm a lazy reader and I've got a stack of books taller than me to read so I really have to get through them before I can read anything else. Especially something that's gonna have me feeling lifeless and contemplating suicide. I prefer Chuck Palahniuk for that kinda thing anyway. Not that he's anything like that, but you know what I mean.

Finished it last night. Now on to the films to see how they do. I expect I will like the 1962 version best but who knows.

I liked the book... alot. All monsters don't show their Freddie Kruger face. Speaking of monsters, Q is Humbert's doppelganger, yes?

Started "Lord of the Flies Today" read by Martin Jarvis. It took some doing to find this one. Most of them are read by the author and the narration is consider a big weak point.

Dude probably 90% of my bookshelves are filled with sword and sorcery. Do I sound like a literary person? Now if Robert Jordan is your idea of brilliance then I'm your man.

.....? You're saying this to someone with the username Sansa Stark tho?

I'm just saying if you're looking for ****ed up books try something other than Palahniuk because there's so much better than him out there

actually you should try this one if you like Palahniuk but it's much better
