I've just watched the TV series of this on DVD.

is it good? never seen it.. but i think it can't be compared with the book.

David Wilson - This Age We're Living In


Not sure if it's been published yet. I got a proof copy for a couple of quid and it's an excellent book.

well the title says everything.. :)

midnight city junk strain - a collection of ginsberg writings, letters etc.

In short, no it's not very good. I've never read the book, so I can't compare. But, from what I've heard, he made a lot of changes and improvements for the book version.

I did read American Gods though, and that's very good.

yeah that's why I won't watch the TV series.. I love the book, I know it for a long time and it's just about a month ago when I realized that it's been originally created as a serial story for BBC.. Try the book, but it'll probably be weird to read after you've seen the series..
Gaiman is excellent writer, I read Stardust too and I wanna buy Coraline and American Gods. It was pretty hard to get those two (Neverwhere and Star dust) at least. Star dust is pretty fairy but lovely too. I just dig his ability to draw together reality and that faerie world aspect.. Never seen it before

edit: when I saw some pics from the Neverwhere TV series i was really sickened, everything there is just wrong :)

I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but the show was produced by Lenny Henry, which explains a lot.

The TV series was very ambitious, but was made on a very limited budget, and so it ended up looking like a good quality children's TV series. And I remember watching it when it was first on TV in 1996, and even then it looked really dated. Lots of cheap special effects and bad acting.

But if you get a chance to watch the DVD, it has a good interview with Gaiman.

I see.. I don't actually know how are the actors but all that I've seen Richard, Door, Hunter, de Carabas.. they all have nothing to do with the book characters:) you made me laugh with your last sentence, it's just like "But if you get a chance to that cheap disgusting nut mix, there are four or five good cashews" :)

double post, sorry..

American Gods by Neil Gaiman. pretty fucking weird.

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Hardcore.

Big Fish.

So, I've been on this Latin American authors kick.

Assorted titles:

Some really crappy text book on sub-cultures. For purely academic purposes.

The TV version of Neverwhere is laughably cheesy. Especially "The Marquis."
Oh.
Man.
So bad.
Even for a guy like me, who is willing to go a decent way into latent goth-teen-who-is-by-this-time-getting-pretty-old cheesedom, Neverwhere was quite the disappointment. Bad enough to wonder how much worse it was going to get, in fact. I think that was what got me to watch all the episodes.

heaven than heavier by charles cross
and the demoniaco in the painting by enrico castelli

I'm reading it right now. Hardcore indeed.
