LoKi_79 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 anything by Robert Rankin. 'the hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse' is quite a good [recent] one to start on. Quote
kevob Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Posted September 4, 2006 NOT a long way down by nick hornby, very dull!!! i read that in tarifa a couple of months back and enjoyed it:confused: Quote
flyer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 You name a couple of books you have read and then we will know what sort to recomend. Quote
Sir Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 How to lose friends and alienate people by Toby jones is a goodun Quote
Mark Rose Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Women on Top by Nancy friday It's not funny and no plot but it is a collection of womens sexual fantisies and gives you a real good stiffy. Quote
Mr. F Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Philip Pullman’s Dark Materials Trilogy.... Although it's aimed at children it's a great story. Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminatus!.... Witty, interesting and has a good story. Howard Marks - Mr Nice... Very enjoyable read. As flyer said, naming a few books you've read will make it easier to recommend them to you. Quote
spannered Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Howard Marks - Mr Nice... Very enjoyable read. That gets my vote too - excellent book. Quote
GrolschUK Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Terry Pratchett's Discworld series... Starts at "Colour of Magic" but any can be picked up and read. Quote
Bertie Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 i read that in tarifa a couple of months back and enjoyed it:confused: i found it boring, slightly predictable and not anywhere near as funny as it was meant to be Quote
Jazzy Roy Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Women on Top by Nancy friday It's not funny and no plot but it is a collection of womens sexual fantisies and gives you a real good stiffy. is that available with tissues................. Quote
adamski Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 anything by Robert Rankin. 'the hollow chocolate bunnies of the apocalypse' is quite a good [recent] one to start on. Yeah... Just finished the one after that... "Toyminator" I am expecting the third one to be "toymageddon":D Robert Rankin is now in my fave authors list! I would start with "armageddon the Musical" personally.... great story, it has sex, sprouts and time travel... lovely! RR is a bit like Douglas Adams... well... if Douglas Adams was still alive... and drank more:D Quote
adamski Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Oh.. don't forget ANY P.G. Wodehouse... fantasic stuff:D Quote
wenglish Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 any of the ''Barry Trotter'' books very funny if you like a good pi55 take. Quote
windy Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 If you don't mind scenes containing, swearing, bodily functions and flakey testicles, then i recommend,Irvine Welsh's (of trainspotting fame) book, Filth. The use of Scotish slang etc may slow the reading process down (it did me) but some parts of it had me shaking my head at the bitter coarseness of the main character at the same time as i was laughing out loud. :D If you go to PLEASE CLICK then click on, Excerpt, to see if you like it. Quote
spannered Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Filth is another fantastic read, although it's semi-sequel (also a semi-sequel to Trainspotting) Porno, is even better! Quote
windy Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Filth is another fantastic read, although it's semi-sequel (also a semi-sequel to Trainspotting) True, but you don't need to have read the others. Oh yeah, PORNO is :cool: , too Quote
