Haven't finished JJ Conollys' Layer Cake yet. Probably because i've already seen the film. On the other hand,if i hadn't the book would probably have passed me by.

whatcha reading for c. lit?
The Crimson Petal and the White - great tale about a Victorian prostitute in London, wouldn't have picked it up myself, but it was given to me and glad it was!
short stories of Dezsö Kosztolányi - le traducteur cleptomane (approx. translation : the kleptomaniac translator)
I don't know if I'm going to read something tonight. Possibly my Japanese book to go over grammar and kanji and Charles Dicken's "Hard Times" for English.

Rip It Up by Simon Reynolds
I read a good chunk of that earlier this year, but couldn't finish it because the school library wanted it back in a week. From what I read, very interesting profiles including the JD one

Bought it mostly cause there was stuff on labels such as Fast and Postcard that I hadn't read before, which was nice. Didn't really care for the mentions of bands such as Spandau Ballet though, so those are the parts I really FFWed through.

Are you both reading all these at the same time??? And I thought I was good at multitasking!!!
(multitasking like shitting and shaving; peeing and taking a shower; etc)

No. I've got it in CD Format. The wailing noises in the background on the Koran CD have boosted my spirituality, and i may seek out some other soothing tunes at His Masters Voice.
Would anyone like to buy my Pornography Collection? It repulses me now. I no longer have any time for it, as it is against my new found beliefs.
(Although, i may keep the odd Gang bang one. the one with Miss Afghanistan in it.)
Was'nt Miss Afgahnistan a prize nanny goat? The missing one that Peter asked Heidi if she'd seen roaming around the hills..He found her on the other side of the bridge,alive and well but choc full of troll spunk...She went where the grass was greener and paid the toll.Fairplay.
Edit: I finished Collymore's Book.Cracking read!

Good luck to Celtic.
and also to Rangers.
Why not bring harmony to your delightful city and merge both clubs. A green and blue playing strip would look dandy i think. At the very least you should both consider a ground share agreement. The past is the past Mr Shug. Look to the future, and hug the next Rangers fan that you see. and wish him all the best. It is only a game after all.

A change is as good as giving it a bleeding rest, I suppose

No cars, J.A.K., that'd be the first part of the Jewish scriptures. :)
