Yeah, Tristam Shandy's a good one. Feel slightly bad that I've never even flicked through it.

I keep meaning to read something by Philip Roth.

Knots is a great book. I'm a big fan of Laing.

Deleuze leaves me feeling confused and slightly exhausted. Have never managed to finish anything I've read by him.

pookie's love for books is no more

If you want to see a dirty old man living out his sexual fantasies in his books.

Nothing short of old man porn.

There are a lot of them. I tend to avoid them, dirty bastards.

demonrail666 06.24.2008 08:16 PM

And more power to them, I say.
