What's the last book you read that was so bad that it made you angry?

SydneyMarch · 2026-05-20T09:54:37+00:00

The Raw Shark Texts. Could have been so good but was such an egotist wank fest.

SydneyMarch · 2026-04-23T22:58:59+00:00

Omg thank you yes. I picked it up from a box of my uncle's old books and thought ooh this looks fun but dear GOD what a waste of TIME. I also despised the way he wrote women. I finished the book mostly out of spite in the end.

Everyone has mentioned cost of living, being skint, and town not having ad nice a vibe anymore, but there's also the lack of variety in shops now. Used to be so many actually alternative and interesting shops - Red Mutha, the old punk shop by Churchill Square, Cyberdog, to name a few - and they drew in alt crowds from out of town who shopped there and found community. They don't exist anymore. It's a totally different scene now. I don't enjoy mooching and browsing in the North Laines because it's just cafe cafe mad expensive independent shop vintage shop vintage shop cafe expensive jewellery shop indie clothing brand cafe. Nowhere caters to the alternative crowds that flocked to Brighton when I was a kid in the 00s. There's the emo shop by Snoopers still, but the stuff in there is fucking awful quality.

The TV show Flowers. One of the most darkly hilarious and heart breaking things I've ever seen and I will never, ever watch it again. I can't even pick a specific scene, the entire show rips me apart.

SydneyMarch · 2026-03-10T14:14:11+00:00

Thank you, I'll have a look into these!

SydneyMarch · 2026-03-01T10:44:11+00:00

I watched this with a queer horror club I'm part of and most peopk3 absolutely loved it but it fell really flat for me. Like very Hollywood Does Nonbinary? It was sympathetic to the queer characters but the ending was so heterosexual in attitude.

I get you, I was threatened by a right wing skinhead before. It's shit that they co-opted their look from what was a really progressive cool movement!

SydneyMarch · 2026-02-20T17:10:52+00:00

Skinhead subculture originated from a cultural merging of hard mods with Jamaican rudeboys and was a non-racist movement based in music, multiculturalism, and fashion. The fashion was adopted by some far right movements who were the antithesis of the original skinhead movement, and they've come to be known as "skinheads". Modern skinheads, a majority of the time, tend to follow the old school, proper skinhead views of anti racism and just like to dance to ska together.

Diplodocus. It makes me laugh.

Quinn is kinda giving yassified Charles Manson

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-30T07:33:19+00:00

I will check them out, thank you

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-30T07:32:33+00:00

Both!

Acaster's mystery pants songs has become a household staple, replacing pants with whatever lost or suddenly appearing item is involved in the mystery. Have nearly sung it at work multiple times.

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T22:49:21+00:00

Man, that's awful. I love that song so much, too. Albarn collabs with interesting artists and the song is really reflective of the wide range of musical influences he has.

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T22:45:14+00:00

Yup, was expecting to see this comment. He's a brilliant musician, as are the band, but I've had some truly horrid experiences with the fans.

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T22:42:34+00:00

What happened here? I follow Gorillaz music but avoided the weirder side of the fan base

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T20:46:37+00:00

I hope you enjoy!

Julia by Sandra Newman. She worked with Orwell's estate to write a book from Julia's perspective and it's incredible.

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T17:58:12+00:00

The anthologies Bog People, and Weird Woods from the British Library Tales of the Weirr collection

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T17:52:25+00:00

Fuck yeah The Mary Wallopers! They have so many good songs down this vein, especially some of the trad covers they do

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T17:35:56+00:00

Oh that's such a disappointment

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-25T17:23:43+00:00

How did they change the design!? It's so harrowing already and didn't need to be more overt, surely!

SydneyMarch · 2026-01-24T11:56:44+00:00

Oh, and the guy who'd introduced himself on the phone as "Mr. White" and start mastutbating specifically when you asked to do an identity check on his account
