Just because you’ve never seen the dyslexic-friendly version of Wart Ars’s, doesn’t mean you’ve got be up in our face and angry, like Rev. Haddart.

PaddockLad 18795 Posted November 13, 2024 Share Posted November 13, 2024 One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez Wow That’s it. That’s the review 😆 The only book I can compare it to is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S Thompson, just for its sprawling, virtually gonzo style.. it’s nothing like F&LILV but that’s the only other book that’s made me feel stoned whilst reading it. I don’t read read a lot of grown up fiction but this was fucking phenomenal ☺️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be subtitled as Marquez refused to sell the rights because he knew any adaptation would be in English. I think his son has done the deal and tbf to Netflix they’ve accepted the original terms…from this it looks great, from Dec 11 as far as I can make out, not sure if that’s UK 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49252 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 Just finished this. Read in two sittings over yesterday and today. Really good and only 99p currently if you're a Kindle person. That synopsis makes it sound almost a bit Mills and Boon but there's proper nasty shit goes down in it. Well worth a read. Night Boat to Tangier by the same bloke is good too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoidberg 168 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 The latest Rebus novel by Ian Rankin called 'Midnight and Blue'. My favorite author of all time and my favorite series of all time. Each one is better than the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49252 Posted Thursday at 14:38 Share Posted Thursday at 14:38 Any kindle users on here? If so, have you seen this business where Amazon will no longer allow you to download your books to your computer from Feb 26th. Which basically means you don't own the books you've bought. Anyway, there's a script you can use to get all your books downloaded before the deadline. I'm doing that, stripping the DRM off them all, and then getting a different e-reader. Video below showing you how to use the script. Then you just use Calibre (free software) to turn them into ebooks that can be read anywhere. But that bit can wait, it's getting them from Amazon that can't. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49252 Posted Thursday at 14:38 Share Posted Thursday at 14:38 The script thing is a piece of piss btw. Even Toonpack could do it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
