Jazzmoose Posted June 9, 2010 Report Posted June 9, 2010 Clarke isn't particularly depressing. (And then there's P.G. Wodehouse.) Yes, and I believe it was someone from England who came up with my all time favorite television line, "Golf's not very popular around here". Quote

paul secor Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Jonathan Lethem, THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE. Great book. Also try Motherless Brooklyn. I enjoyed Motherless Brooklyn a lot. Haven't read anything else of his since then, but I probably should. Edited June 19, 2010 by paul secor Quote
jazzbo Posted June 19, 2010 Report Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) I had started this and then set it aside as it seemed to heavy in several senses to take with me on my 3500 cycle trip. . . . I have resumed readking this and must say tis pretty fascinating and well done. Temple is a really good historian, this is no "Chariots of the Gods" stuff. . . . Edited June 19, 2010 by jazzbo Quote
Matthew Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 The Sign of the Four. It's my favorite Sherlock Holmes novel. Is the BBC TV movie with Jeremy Brett any good? Quote
