It's good storytelling and the language is lovely. I recommend it if you like the occasional well-told story that doesn't beat the reader about the head and chest with implicit content. I do.

So do I,
I've added it to the "to buy" list.

Thanks Kid.

As for writers that use regional accents in their writing styles,
one of my favorites is James Kelman. In most of his writings he uses Scottish dialect, it is wonderful to read, and he writes great stories (novels and shorts).

And a good read of his making would be?

"How Late it Was, How Late"
is amazing, probably his best, a drunk beaten into blindness relearns his life.

"The Good Times" and "Busted Scotch"
are two good short story compilations, the former is the better of the two.

I was wondering what to pick up next. Probably the first of those. Thanks.

fooking gobshite.

You'd know one, ye blatherskate.

Ridin' High & Livin' Free by Sonny Barger

Ridin' free and livin' high might work too for some folks . . .

Just finished The End of Alice by A. M. Homes.

Not as disturbing as I thought it would be.

Maybe I am sensitized to violence at this point in my life.....

I'm out of books, but monkeys are bringing me Kelman.

And here I thought they only brought absinthe...

I hope they cleared that with their union rep.

Them be some smart monkeys.

They're well trained. They arrived last night. Unfortunately, leisure reading is a bit too much to ask these days. At least I'll be prepared when the opportunity arises.

The monkeys seem to be beligerent by the time they get to me. They forget to leave notices that they were ever here.

I'm currently reading HucleberryFinn and A Brief History of the Carribean.

I am, without shame, reading Brain Damage by George Carlin. He makes me laugh.

I just read a facinating tome entitled The History of Landmines. It was a great read...

I just picked up America (The Book) at the store on my lunch break.
I've managed to flip through it a bit for an initial peek.

I stopped after I ran across the naked pictures of the Supreme Court Justices.

I can't wait to get home and curl up with this one tonight.

Aren't they a little old for you?

I'm thinking of branching out.

I hear diversification is good!

I got about 100 pages into "How late it Was..."
Then I started comprehending the language.
Now I'm enjoying it.

Glad you like it.
I found reading it out loud
helped me to grasp the language quicker.
Plus it allowed the other people
on the bus to enjoy it.

Mostly it consists of "Fucking fuckity fuck-fuck."
By the way, what the fuckity fuck-fuck is a "bampot?"

A headcase, idiot, nutter.
As:
"That maya' is a right fookin' bampot"

Put into that context, it suddenly makes sense.

If the pot fits,
bam it.
Guilty.

I was thinkin' about buying a copy of that, especially after seeing this.

Being able to read the first chapter free on AOHell was a good promo, too.






Now . . . nekked Supreme Court Justices? Sounds like yer perversifying.

It's a great read.
The chapter on the media is the best.

Plus, it has fun activities, like match the anchorperson's face to his or her hair.

Any one seen Team America yet?
Fuck Yeah!

are these puppets actually funny?

Yes !
If you're juvenile.

CG will love it!

" There's 3 types of people in the world
Pussies Dicks and Assholes ,
pussies think they hate dicks because they're always getting
fucked by them
but dicks also fuck assholes so pussies ...."
fuckin' hilarious.

...must be assholes!

I like it.

"A limousine that can fly? Now I've seen everything." "Everything? Have you seen a man eat his own head?"

I can’t remember when I laughed so hard.

No , but they're closer than Dicks ,
so they have to be careful
or they end up full of shit.

Just finished:
Secrets of the Tomb (skull & bones)
Free Culture
Infinate Jest (a great book if you're not going anywhere for a month)

.....or a year.

So far I see one common theme in all of your posts:
a seemingly infinite number of spelling fuck-ups.

damn.

Slowly, Speed Racer.
Take your time.
Slowly with the fingers and quickly with the brainpan.
Chicks dig that.
