I just picked up 'Bash the Rich - True confessions of an anarchist in the UK' by Ian Bone, the founder of 'Class War' and at one point 'the most dangerous man in Britain'. Ive not really started it yet but im looking forward to it, pretty interesting. Ive always wanted to understand the true concepts of anarchy. Maybe this'll help

I've just got a book from the sociology lecturer here called "Imagining Cities" (edited) by Sallie Westwood and John Williams. I have no idea if it will be any good, but it sounds interesting.

Dundee college? It wouldn't be Tony you're refering to would it? He's a good man!

I had Tony.
He's so good he made me want to study sociology at uni instead of social work.

I'm going through a John Grisham phase. I think I have about 4 books left to read then that will be all of his.
I'll start working my way through the movies next.

Just finished Hide And Seek by Ian Rankin, very good read, couldn't put it down. Away to start reading Animal Farm by George Orwell, finally gettin round to reading it!

I'm currently reading Jack Kerouac's 'Big Sur', it's the first novel i've read in ages and i'm loving it. I just finished 'Cider with Roadies' by Stuart Maconie, an amusing read which should be read by everyone with any sort of passion for good music.

I found it really confusing at the start but brilliant once I became more familiar with the way it jumped backwards and forwards.

At the moment, I'm reading The Wrong Boy by Willy Russell. It's written as a series of letters to Morrissey and is very, very Northern (English) and pretty funny.

I'm also flicking through Bridges: Three Thousand Years of Defying Nature and not understanding much apart from the nice pictures.

i'm half-way through 'down and out in paris and london' by Orwell.
pretty good so far.

Rebelius · 3rd April 2007, 09:05 PM

Maskerade by pratchett - my first discworld novel. I like, I'll probably read more.

Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome. S'not as good as Three Men on a Boat but is still good in some ways. I like him.
