Is there a cheap Scrumpy Jack version for tramps like us? (ie, me)

Best novel ever.
(Depending on how much you laff at A Confederacy of Dunces).

Aha!
Last week I re-re-re-re-read Slapstick, each time I see more things in it.

Wonderful book.
Try Hocus Pocus if you're in the depressive frame of mind.
Or even if you're not!

I love that book!
I read a lot, but only certain authors : Vonnegut, Pratchett, Palahniuk.
I try other authors but never seem to finish the book.

Neil Gaiman.
A storyteller. Not highbrow, but always inventive and determinedly fantastical.
His short stories are possibly the best extant (apart from those of HG Wells), but his novel 'American Gods' will rock the socks off your socks, and please you immensely.
In my opinion.
(Hmmm, not many members in the new midnight b3ta book club so far...)

ta!!!
I'll give him a go. The novel he did with Pratchett was brilliant, I can't believe I haven't investigated his writings before.
American Gods it is then, assuming I can find it in digital form. Since my accident involving head trauma I can only read in the dark with no noise whatsoever, easily distracted with a terrible memory span.
I appreciate the recommendation, if you have more please tell me NOW!

Reading in the dark with head trauma complications?
Surely it can only be anything by HP Lovecraft.
And I want someone to second me on this. I'm no doctor.

HA!
Reading in the dark = .lit files on an old PDA.
Lovecraft, I'll give him a go. I know I've read his stuff 'cos I've got some of his books in my bookcase, but 1989 to 2002 are a big blur of things which may or may not have happened.

Same here, oddly enough.
I came out of it with a useless degree and an almost-entirely withered sense of purpose.

Sense of purpose
I remember that, along with pert breasts and No.73

There you go again with your bizarre Sandi Toksvig obsession.
(Some things are perhaps best left unremembered.)
