    Dirty literary secret!

    This is getting exciting... Your struggle to purchase erotica could have it's own thread! I'm dying to know what happens next! :D

    I don't speak French.... *Runs off to Google 'Baise Moi* OH DEAR!! That can't have gone down very well! :D

    Do you read 'literature'?

    I agree with most of those, but I wouldn't recommend Dostoyevsky or any other Russian writer to someone who might think 'classic' literature boring. I really enjoy his work but it could be kind of like recommending the London marathon to someone who wasn't overly keen on exercise! I think he's...

    Richard Laymon

    Yes, you do tend to see the same ones in the shops always, and never the ones your looking for! Yaaaaaaawn, I'm sleepy. Gotta go ya'll. See you next time!

    Richard Laymon

    In paperback it's a lurid bright orange colour so you can't miss it! Well, It is in the UK anyway. I'm not entirely sure about in the US. I think i'll hang around on this thread for a while. It seems quite active. :D

    Richard Laymon

    I suppose it can be like that. I couldn't read two of his books in a row. Most of what I read is really different to Laymon though. The last 4 books I read were, Crime and Punishment, Jane Eyre, Pride and Predjudice and Sense and Sensibility. I just love Laymon cause you know what your...

    Richard Laymon

I think my favourites are 'Night/Lonesome/October, Island, Travelling Vampire show and Funland. If there is any of those at your library I suggest you get them. they is other really good ones...

    Richard Laymon

    I've read every single one of his books. Some of them twice. Night in the Lonesome October is definately my favourite though. I finished them all a long time ago, then read 'The Lake' when it came out recently. I like reading him just cause he's so trashy and easy to get into. It always...

    i want to speed my reading

    I think it takes me on average about 8 hours reading time. That doesn't mean I sit down for 8 hours and read though. I usually fit in about 8 hours in 3 or 4 days I think. I don't try and rush through a book though. If it's a real joy to read I can go over some paragraphs and pages many...

    From Film to Book...

    Yes, thats who it was. I totally forgot their names.

    From Film to Book...

    I generally think that books are better than films that they influence. Usually because there is more chance to develop characters and plot and what have you. Is there any film that you really wish you could read the book of? I watched 'Good Will Hunting' recently and I really wished that...

    James Joyce

    Really? OK. I'll read it when I've finished 'Sense and Sensibility'. I will come crying to you if I get a headache though!

    Books you are afraid to post about.

    I see people shamelessly looking in the Erotica section of Borders without a care in the world! It shares a corner with the horror books too and when I look in the horror section I always get uncomfortable in case people think i'm trying to look at 'Ezmarelda's Punishment' or 'Mr Whip's school...

    The Island???

    Ha Ha... It's 'Island' by Richard Laymon. You should go add to my 'Dirty literary secret' thread!

    Dirty literary secret!

    What genre do you secretly enjoy reading but wouldn't admit to in polite company? My secret is a penchant for trashy horror novels, I've read all Richard Laymon's novels (some of them twice) and some novels by Bentley Little. They don't come worse than that! I suppose it's the literary...

    My first thread... Hello everyone.

    Anyone over the age of 21 starting a course of study is regarded as a mature student. I think it's pretty much a nationwide term. It's used in most of the University prospectus' that I've looked at.
