Stephen king sucks. I just finished reading Our man in Havana, which is terrific. Considering it was written so soon before the Cuban missile crisis, it’s quite prophetic to boot.

There's a very good movie based on the book.

Some of Stephen King's work isn't so good, for example I hated Pet Sematary, The Dead Zone and Night Shift.

But there are some very good ones like The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. I also liked The Langoliers which is more sci-fi than horror.

Researching this at the moment. The sacred theory of the earth. This is mind blowing:

That is interesting now that you mentioned it. Keep up that new year's resolution mate.

Ok it's a theory about how the humanity has been reset (possibly several times), and each time it's reset our history from the previous civilization is lost. They are trying to figure out when the world will end, but because they are aware that history has been changed, they are at the conclusion that they have no knowledge of our actual past, so are unable to predict when the end could occur.

When put alongside the history we are aware of, it is quite chilling. I've talked about ghost cities on here previously, and when you think of the foundlings and orphans from the 1800s, the numbers are actually astounding, it seems highly possible that these kids were moved around, with no ties or memories of their parents and taught/ given false histories.

I just finished reading this, obviously this is the audio-book version:

David Hockney By David Hockney - My early years

Brilliant, really enjoyed it. i Think min (from a charity shop) was the unupdated version



Absolute Titan of British Art and a big fuck you to most fake intellectuals who know less about the history and techniques used by the old masters now as old farts than he did as a teenager. Amazing to see how the relationship between Britain and the states have changed, how technology has shrunk the world and quite how full of shite many so called experts always were.

My stepson bought me 'The Secret Barrister: Stories of the law and how it is broken' for Christmas. In the mistaken belief, I think, that i would having worked in the sector find it fascinating. Incredibly dull and very nearly unreadable. It's pretty accurate but a real uphill struggle to maintain the enthusiasm needed to suffer yet another page of witless, humdrum blandness. There are much better ways to remove your will to live.


Love Henning Mankell's Wallander thrillers, after the original Swedish language TV show ( not the Brannagh shite) and just finished 'Sidetracked' which i really enjoyed. Love the character and every time I read it, want to go to Sweden to feel the amazing landscape in which they are set.

Have Carl Jung's 'Man and his symbols' and Steven Pinker's 'The language Instinct' on the go too. Pinker is full of crap like most psychologists, but I like to try and understand why people like him think the way they do.
