I'm sorry! It's hard for me to write long posts sometimes.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 02:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Peter Ackroyd writes historical fiction and non-fiction on very British subjects. I don't know your tastes, but I wouldn't have thought he would be your kind of thing.

Did you MEAN Peter Ackroyd or someone else?

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 02:05 (eighteen years ago) link

no, i think i meant peter ackroyd. sounds right. i dunno if i'll like the way he writes, but it's definitely the guy.

Harry Kemelmans Rabbi Small novels [right now: Monday The Rabbi Took Off, très silly but very readable]

Julio Cortazar: Blow Up and Other Stories

slowly trudging through the galleys for a book on the rise of the avant garde in new china

collection of scottish folk stories...

― bb (bbrz), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:02 (eighteen years ago) link

tried starting the simon reynolds book on post-punk but it's crap especially considering what he thinks of as post-punk i think of as punk, but then i'm not english and don't have some one note definition based on the sex pistols. VIVA AMERICA!

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:43 (eighteen years ago) link

haha, you are incorrigible.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:44 (eighteen years ago) link

i keep wondering about buying that book as i dont know much about either punk or postpunk, i have the fall records and thats it, but then i never get round to it

― terry lennox. (gareth), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I've never read a Simon Reynolds book. I don't read much about music, really.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:46 (eighteen years ago) link

the fall is a good example -- PUNK (and even directly inspired to form by the sex pistols playing in manchester to boot). example of weak ass brit def that has unfortunately also become weak ass american def. oh well -- VIVA OHIO!

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I used to live in Ohio!

VIVA SPRINGFIELD! VIVA YELLOW SPRINGS!

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:51 (eighteen years ago) link

The only "punk" I like isn't punk.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:53 (eighteen years ago) link

not a bad definition, adam -- unless you go Kogan Humbert Humbert.

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Thursday, 9 March 2006 16:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't know what that means!

Honestly, I know nothing about music criticism.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i know several people from yellow springs, ohio. none of them are dave chappelle, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you really? Have you been there? There's a really cute little movie theater on the main street there. Also a place where Sarah got her tattoo done haha!

It's a really nice little town. I could maybe live there in a little house with a porch swing.

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm obsessed with porches - what a good idea!

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:08 (eighteen years ago) link

It feels Southern there kind of after the snow melts, with large graceful trees and dirt tracks.

HAHA'S PIZZA

my significant OTHER, Jane, went to Antioch.

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Ohio seems to have a high number of good colleges. Or is it me?

― Adamrl (nordicskilla), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:12 (eighteen years ago) link

antioch is a bit like the island of misfit toys.

― Jack Cole (jackcole), Thursday, 9 March 2006 17:14 (eighteen years ago) link

pleasant plain's book has a character called wing biddlebaum. i can't read anything set in the UK. SORRY. i was 1/2 way through 'my search for patty hearst' before i had to return it to the library (late anyway). before that i finished a book called 'RX' which i liked a lot but would only be of interest to people who like novels about girls taking drugs. its practically a genre, you know. right now im reading 'readymade'. the magazine, not the book of the magazine. i need something new.
