      @GraemeE well I’ve found what to ship you alongside Sympathy for the Drummer then 🙂

      Think it, be it.

          @Tago-Mago don't even get me started.. at least fax was somewhat digital. Was effectively unable to vote in the recent German elections, since a letter from DE to DK took 13 days! So we are left with fully analog exchange of letters, but with a dysfunctional mail service. Actually today the Danish Post (Post Nord) announced that it will stop all letter delivery from next year.

            @mclaincausey nope, at least not yet. It’s on my list to read this year though. I debating on whether reading that first or Saxophone Colossus by Levy. I’ve had the latter in the bookshelf for a minute, it’s just an intimidating read but I know I’ll breeze (relatively speaking lol) though it once I start.

              @Tobi i still think about Red Mars. Robinson did a wonderful job of describing the landscape of Mars - the enormous proportions and size of the cliffs, canyons etc. I didn't go on to read the following 2 books, but listening to them does sound enticing.

                  A tag line that should go down well here. I’ve never bought his clothes, or seen much of his tv work but I thought this book was brilliant. An echo of my own thoughts over the last few years.

                      @Inorganic really enjoyed secret History. Wish they’d made a movie with a young Philip Seymour Hoffman as Bunny Corcoran.

                        @jerkules that would have been a solid casting, he crushed a similar role ‘Talented Mr Ripley’. Your post got my mind running on which 90’s (book was published in ‘92) actors could play Henry - Richard E. Grant I think could do it justice. And a bonus thought if they made it today he could make an excellent Julian.

                            Been on my list for so long and finally getting around to reading it. Just a few chapters in but it’s already very tense

                              In my opinion, this right here is the greatest American novel. So many scenes are burned into my memories.

                                Just finished the audiobook on my way back from the coast

                                Parker, Coltrane, Evans and Davis all end up dying early....

                                On a serious note I highly recomend this either in print or narrated on headphones
                                10 out of 10

                                  @GraemeE Gald you enjoyed it. Agreed with the above message - if you’re torn between which medium, the book has pictures. 😅

                                      Some of the stuff they did back then to just make things happen was crazy.

                                            I love reading, of course there's a reading thread on here...
                                            I mostly read on kindle though, I just finished South of The Border, West of The Sun by Murakami ... good read, but weird.
