Funky Dave   10 #13 Posted February 14, 2004 I'm about 80 pages into Great Expectations. I'm in a Dickens phase at the minute, having just finished Hard Times, and I've got Bleak House lined up for next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sam Miguel   10 #14 Posted February 15, 2004 I love Dickens. It 's the hidden humour. So much ahead of his time he was.  I am not reading anything at the moment, but two good books I read lately - I just love Ben Elton - were This Other Eden and Dead Famous, which is p*** take of Big Brother. One of the contestants gets murdered, and in spite of all the cameras, they don't know who did it!  It's mint!  Really beast!

Phanerothyme   12 #15 Posted February 15, 2004 Originally posted by Yodameister Just started re-reading How The Dead Live by Will Self. Really quite thought provoking and funny and freaky as well.  He's a great author, and writer of short stories.  Have you read Great Apes? Stunning.  As for Dickens, three words:  Dombie And Son  Possibly the dullest tome in the english language, almost guaranteed to induce narcoleptic fits even in speed-freaks.
