I know this won't appeal to all on here but for any fans of football / soccer, The Blizzard is a fantastic publication run from a small office in Sunderland. And I say this as a Newcastle fan. It's available via hard copies or, if you prefer, digital subscription too. The ethos behind the...

I think the original thread went west when the server exploded. Anyway, I ended up ordering and reading A. Razor's Better Than A Gun In A Knife Fight and Iris Berry's The Daughters of Bastards. A. Razor's book is a collection of poetry. I enjoyed it, he definitely 'has something' as Bukowski...

I know I don't start many threads on here and I know politics can be dull as ditch water but I was surprised there had been so little talk about the Presidential election on here. Are you all just so cynical about the whole affair? I am a bit although I tend to think that, if nothing else, Obama...

Apologies if there's already a thread on this but I couldn't find one. Anyway, I'm about half-way through this book and enjoying it a lot. It has a very 70s feel to it (I know it's written and set in the 70s you smart asses) and sort of puts my in mind of Sam Peckinpah's The Getaway. I just...

Just wondered but to all the people on here not based in the UK, have the recent riots, looting, civil unrest and general twattery made much of an impact on the news in the rest of the world?

In my humble opinion anyway. http://theselvedgeyard.wordpress.com/ I stumbled across it when looking for something to do with James Dean. And no, it isn't written by me :wb: With regard to the written content, it's a bit thin on the ground when it comes to details on the subjects it covers but...

Not sure if any of you lot are familiar with this guy but he's a recent discovery for me, having just read his short story collection 'The Bus Driver who wanted to be God'. The highlight of which is the longer short story / novella 'Kneller's Happy Campers' at the end of it. Well worth checking...

Anyone else seen this? Todd Solondz is one sick guy. Hilarious stuff all the same.

I eventually got round to reading Last Exit to Brooklyn and I absolutely loved it. I was wondering if any of you had some advice on what to read next / whether all Selby's work was worth checking out. Thanks in advance.

Neville isn't a guy I know personally but I've seen him at spoken word / poetry evenings and he's from just down the road from me. I think he's hilarious although I suppose some of his stuff will be lost in translation, so to speak. Anyway, I hope some of you enjoy these. (Please move if this is...

Would have stuck this in the Seen Any Good Movies... thread but that appears to be locked. Anyway, I watched the Ingmar Bergman classic for the first time last night. A lot of the cineastes on here will have seen it already I guess but I thought it was an absolutely stunning piece of cinema...

I suppose it's only polite to say hello to you all. I'm a big Bukowski fan having read the novels, many of the short stories and a bit of poetry too. I'm more into prose than poetry though, if truth be told. Always looking for new things to read in a similar vein. I've read both the Fante's...
