Yo, that Book Is Full of Spiders, but the book I just finished is also full of spiders and is called Children of Time. Epic romp in space with spiders and bumbling humans.

I'm listening to that right now. It's a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to telling someone to "go gently caress a puppet on the moon"

I love his unabashed silliness. Don't get me wrong, I like weighty stuff like David Foster Wallace, but I identify much more with Byob Mortimer's happy idiocy.

Yeah, piss cup is one of those parts I'm enjoying most, where the riffs and whimsy melt into introspection and philosophising.

In my primary school we weren't allowed to take books home because we couldn't be trusted. Children are devious.

I must give annihilation a shot. Have only read Finch, which I thought was brilliant.

I read excerpt from The Other Side by Alfred Kubin and ordered the book immediately cos it's so good.
Came across it in The Weird: A Compendium of Strange and Dark Stories, edited by Ann and Jeff Vandermeer.

oh, poo poo! New Bob Mortimer? Might have to restart my audible subscription for that. I think it definitely helps to hear it with his delivery

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Never read a La Carre book before and woo this one's dense. Loved the "retired spy roped in for one last job after their mentor dies under mysterious circumstances" plot.
Yooo! Same here. Read The Spy Who Came in from The Cold before this and liked it a lot. His prose is so good. I had to backtrack on the early chapters of tinker, where Smiley meets with his cohorts and there is just soo much name dropping and flashes of background on what I hope are minor characters, cos drat that's hard to take in all at once.

I'm reading The Goldfinch and it rules. Gotta get me some more Donna Tart after this.
