This post makes me wonder now if i picked up a book by the wrong Rankin *puzzled* someone recommended a Rankin to me as an alternative to Douglas Adams ... i thought it was Ian Rankin ... but seeing Robert Rankin I'm wondering if I remembered the name wrong. So, Roffa, is it anything like Douglas Adams work?
Yes, Robert Rankin is much closer to Douglas Adams or even Terry Pratchett than Ian Rankin's gritty tales of murder and skullduggery in Edinburgh. Hope this helps.
"The Acid House" by Irvine Welsh. And the short story I've just finished reading is "Granny's Old Junk".
The Quickie by James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge (mother-in-law bought it for me ... probably so she can read it after i'm done )
Currently i'm just finishing up on The Godfather by Mario Puzo. An amazing read that I would highly recommend =D
'A New History of Torments' - Zulfikar Ghose Thoroughly enjoying it so far, captivating and with a dream-like quality to it....
