yes, didn't know about the CD, but think he appeared in the film Drug Store Cowboy?

Oh right. I think my problem is I just don't like the characters, but neither copy has gone to the Red Cross yet so ....., I liked the film though. WB's is another writer I struggle with, but he is/was an intriguing person

one copy was given to me, the other inherited, but I agree

I'm with you with Dickens, forced to read Oliver Twist and Great Expectations so doesn't count. I figure there's enough misery in life without reading about it, same reason I never watch Eastenders

I don't know what you mean (I have Scottish relatives tbf) , but you have reminded me 'On The Road' Jack Keroac, I have two copies, failed to finish either and can't even be arsed to check spelling of his name

SPOILER ALERT .... he's back by Sunday

great thread btw :thumbsup:

I've always wanted to read that, just never found the time so far

OMG! I read Metamorphosis when I was about ten, I had no idea Kafka wrote that! It was a book my older brother had, along with 'After the Fire' and 'The Catcher in the Rye'

I found Under The Volcano quite an easy read (I wouldn't say enjoyable though), but I saw the film first

same, but I was about 18 and Bleak House by Dickens

just because a book is a best seller it doesn't mean it's actually read and there is NO WAY you can judge a book by it's cover. I would recommend Wuthering Heights btw .... I couldn't put it down and read it in a day

tons! Lord of the Rings - too many characters for my brain to cope with Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee - too painfully sad Kurt Cobain bio - too disturbing Junkie by William Burroughs - really good book, but some reason it sends me into a trance The Making of Ireland - too boring Any manual...
