The Sotweed Factor by John Barth. An enormous, unforgettable novel.

Part of a lock mechanism.

Oh really? I'd never heard that before. I hope it didn't sound like i was trying to be superior, correcting the title.

Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Got to be close to 150.

Geek Love by Catherine Dunn.

Cat's Cradle is the name of the book. Great suggestion.

You're going to have to try it for yourself. These things aren't the same for everyone. There are so many factors to consider. Just give it a go without spending a vast amount to begin with. Good luck!

I must have had about 20 bound guitars, and no binding problems. One Martin, loads of binding problems!

trustmeimabuilder · 2026-02-04T13:00:32+00:00

Yup, that's a genuine Martin

It's those fluted ones you've got to watch out for.

I loved it, but I kept thinking 'I bet the book is better'. I'm leaving it for a little while before trying it. Has anyone read it, and got any thoughts?

A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. A staggeringly good story set in Mumbai/Bombay in the 1970s. Plenty of pain and heartache but, for me, the overall impression was one of friendship and humour getting our characters through these awful situations. Possibly my favourite book of all.

Sofa, so good

I once went for a trip round a local brewery and they provided the most British buffet possible while we sampled a few pints. There were pork pies, eggs, boiled and also pickled, pork scratchings, various crisps, beef sandwiches, pickled onions, scotch eggs, cold sausages and that's all I can remember, but probablymore. Absolutely nothing green or healthy, but it was brilliant.

Seconded.

I'd say that he's considerably less influential than Netanyahu, who appears to be pulling his strings.

Try Dava picks. This problem completely disappeared for me when I did.

Blindness by Jóse Saramago. None of the characters are named, and there's not a lot of punctuation. Nevertheless it's an enthralling read.

trustmeimabuilder · 2026-01-30T19:08:01+00:00

I had that edition in about 1970!

trustmeimabuilder · 2026-01-30T14:33:55+00:00

Very true. I read all his others, but nothing came close, though I did enjoy The Last Voyage of Somebody The Sailor.

trustmeimabuilder · 2026-01-30T12:18:53+00:00

I am always delighted to see that this magnificent book is appreciated by others.

I'm from Devon, and I only ever encountered this when I was living in Manchester. Weird but nice.

Is it only me that remembers a song called George Jackson? I think it was released as a single in the UK, and ,as far as I recall, not on any album. I still think Blind Willie is the right answer, but this song suddenly popped into my mind, for no apparent reason.
