Stasiland by Anne Funder. Fascinating and chilling accounts of life in East Germany, under the constant observation of the secret police. Beautifully written and extremely accessible. At one point she mentions how, when the communist state was created, it became necessary to completely rewrite history. Thus the 17 million inhabitants had never been Nazis, were all good communists and had been liberated by their Russian bretheren ! | ||

You'll all recall what Robert Forster says about people like me. I am currently reading Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Idiot." Wow Andrew. So who were those 17 million Germans liberated from? | ||

You've probably never really wondered whatever became of Jason Everman, who was famously kicked out of both Nirvana and Soundgarden before each became huge, but you should read this story about him anyway. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magazi ne/evermans-war.html?nl=todaysheadlines& emc=edit_th_20130707 | ||

Padraig, The Wasp Factory is a brilliant and stunning debut novel, it was a sensation at the time for my friends and I and none of his other books (many of them good) would have the same effect. It's a cult book and a great one, his Catcher in the Rye, a bildungsroman for a new generation. | ||

Andrew Mueller - It's Too Late To Die Young Now | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3268 Registered: 03-2005 |
I never enter anything here because sadly I so seldom read, first since law school converted the act of reading into torture and then second, since the internet gave me unlimited scope for hours of skimming superficial commentary. But when I was a kid growing up in culturally arid Fresno, California I read voraciously, usually the classics. Back in those pre-law school days I read Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" and "Brothers Karamazov" and loved them for their (to me) mysterious density. I've re-read both books probably twice since, noticing that they seem to bring out my own depressive qualities which doesn't really seem like a good thing to bring out. This summer I re-read "The Idiot" which was so lithe by Dostoevsky standards that it almost seemed a Russian "Pride and Prejudice." So I decided to read "Notes from the Underground," a slim volume I'd never tried before. For the first 50 pages or so I kept thinking "god, no wonder people say such things about Dostoevsky! The Lit professors all made their students read this out of sheer sadism!" But then it moved from interminable comical sophistry to a scary fun house mirror. I found myself reading a handful of pages and going "I can't continue! It's too familiar." Ancient ugly memories of childhood tantrums and adolescent obsessions and pathetic reactions to failing romances bubbled up with my name all over them like ghosts of Christmas past. It's never taken me so long to read such a slim volume. My sentence is almost over; there are only a dozen pages left. I suppose the book is brilliant. But I've too fragile an ego to endure it. It's like a very grueling acid trip. Is this normal? Has anybody else on the board read this book in adulthood, after the resilience of youth has passed? At least I now know where Magazine's "Song From Under the Floorboards" comes from. | ||

Starman – Paul Trynka Between accusations of outrageous poofterism from my dad, puffing pipesmoke furiously at TOTP, and scorn from my LedZep entranced schoolmate peers, it was hard for me to orientate myself with relation to Bowie – I suppose at bottom I felt it wasn’t necessary to dress up like a clown to sing songs, that some of his lyrics, even by a 14-year old’s pretty gullible standards, were just too pretentious, and that his vowelly London voice could verge on the irritating. On the other hand, the girls went absolutely loopy, and the class crazy guy, obviously not so crazy after all, immediately went out and got himself a red-tint Bowie cut, so obviously something was going on. But in the end, while appreciating many of his tunes, I was never able to warm to the artist, despite Rebel Rebel providing the happily grinding backdrop for my first proper kiss. Holiday reading of Paul Trynka’s biog has been interesting though – spotlighting how the drive to fame predated any obvious talent, how the bisexuality seemed to come into play mainly to grease his way into a new business move, how it was a sequence of wild, instinctive accidents rather than cold calculation which rocketed him to international success (which helps explain how everything would go rather awry careerwise later on) and how he fed off his musicians and influences in order to create, at least for a period, some fascinating music. Other amusing titbits include the fact that he managed to ease just ahead of Liam Gallagher in one music mag’s Artist of the Century survey, and that the studio’s first choice for The Man Who Fell to Earth was Robert Redford. | ||

Craig McGregor - Left Hand Drive. It's an autobiography by a 79-year-old Australian journalist and author. On the bus I got to work this morning the bus driver was listening to a Radio National podcast interview with McGregor. It was fascinating, so I bought the book. I did not hear the start of the interview, so I didn't know who it was, but thankfully the bus driver did. Most of the drivers, if they have the radio on, listen to right wing shock jock stuff. The best you can usually hope for is that they are listening to WSFM (classic hits), so it was a very pleasant surprise to hear this. | ||

Randy, though I have several books by Dostoevsky and other Russian writers, which I bought while living in America, I have never got very far trying to read them. Maybe I'll try again one day, but I probably won't. | ||
| Andrew Kerr Member Username: Andrew_k Post Number: 829 Registered: 04-2005 |
Randy, A huge debate in its own right; is there a "right" time in your life to read a book ? I have seen several comments recently suggesting never to (re)read the likes of "On The Road" or "The Catcher in the Rye", (as these are "supposed" to be read in adolescence/early adulthood)... I suppose that the argument goes that you are more receptive to certain ideas and emotions at certain ages, according to your life experiences ? There was an article today in the Guardian about the film "Don't Look Now" and the writer said how it hit him much harder reviewing the film as an adult and as a parent. Have only read "Crime and Punishment", but will maybe give "Notes From the Underground" a go! I don't know if it is the effect of superficial reading on the internet, but I certainly find it harder to stick with a "difficult" book than I did 20 years ago... Currently reading Eric Newby's "Love and War in the Appeninnes"... And before that was 2 novels by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ("Half of a Yellow Sun" and "Purple Hibiscus"). I never knew much about the history of Nigeria and the creation of Biafra, but the first of those titles in a harrowing account of that time. One of the book's characters states that the genocide between tribes was a colonial invention ! He points out that there would have been skimishes before (over land mainly), but that this particular form of organised killing was unknown before the white man arrived in that part of Africa. | ||

I was thinking something similar the other day about Eliot's 4 Quartets which as a young university student I found intractable and fiendishly difficult. Rereading them recently, more or less at the same age as Eliot was when he wrote them, they seemed beautiful and lucid and direct. Padraig, don't give up on your Russian novels, whatever they may be, and especially if they include Tolstoy! No-one should cheat themself of the chance to get gloriously lost in War & Peace or Anna K. I've only read D's the Brothers Karamazov, which was hugely enjoyable, so looking forward to the others. Much easier to read than late Henry James, say,I feel like I'm fighting through a waterfall of spaghetti with that stuff. Reading early Hardy, at the moment, before the Cosmic Gloom descended - funny, even, and with breathtakingly lyrical descriptions of the English countryside. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3269 Registered: 03-2005 |
Andrew, I've often joked that I could just re-read the same wall of books that I already have and never buy another. I was thinking of my own tendency to deeply immerse myself in a book, adopting its affect, and then comprehensively purge it from my memory in a remarkably short time afterwards. But the extent to which a revisit at another time of life can transform the experience is striking. I remember enjoying "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" in my late teens. When I re-read it in my late 30s I just thought "ugh, dull Catholic tosh." I have "Brideshead Revisited" waiting to be read for the first time. I adore the dramatization that made Jeremy Irons a star and I've read nearly every other fictional book Waugh wrote but strangely never this. I'm looking forward to it, but will a romance that captured me in my early 20s have something to say to me in my 50s and if so what will that be? I also have "The Possessed" waiting to be read. I've never read it but clearly Dostoevsky needs to be given a rest for a bit. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 5998 Registered: 05-2005 |
I think I have something by Tolstoy, Stuart. I also have a collection of Russian short stories. In 1989 I worked for a charity called Goodwill in Boston and we used to get discounts on their already very cheap prices. So I bought a lot of books very cheaply. The great American canon (Mailer, Roth etc) as well as the great Russian canon. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 878 Registered: 10-2006 |
You don't seem to do too badly for a guy who doesn't read, Randy. I believe Brideshead is the novel where his snobbishness and Catholicism are given bountifully free reign to indulge themselves, but, like you,haven't read it yet. Handful of dust was a stunner, I remember. I also recall a scene in Sword of Honour regarding a portable military toilet which must be one of the funniest bits in English lit. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 3271 Registered: 03-2005 |
Stuart, the problem is that the overwhelming bulk of my reading is in the distant past, indeed so far past that I cannot even remember if I've read "Sword of Honour." At the beginning of this summer I decided to rectify that a bit. With "Brideshead" I'm hoping that Waugh's quality as a writer will force him to depict the pathologies of Catholicism and religion in general and also the ancient marginalization of homosexuals, all in spite of himself. The TV dramatization gives the impression that this is precisely what he does. If accurately depicted, what Waugh might think of as moral beauty is likely to show itself to me as needless and tragic waste of human potential. The very best books can be freighted with messages entirely different than the writer envisioned. | ||

Much as I disliked his novel 'The Slap', this is a well written piece Pádraig. Throws up as many questions as answers, but then it is a complex issue. And as he points out it takes a great lack of common sense to be against immigration in a modern country built on it ! Even in my sleepy French village, there are numerous families with Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Moroccan origins. The story of people all over the world has been one of either economic or political movement. The Front National's belief in a pure French race would be a bad joke, if not for the fact that so many people vote for these fascists. Sometimes just seeing a young mixed-race couple with kids in the street or feeling the energy that comes from some crazy clash of ethnic musical styles is enough to make you feel that those who argue against immigration have already lost. It is a natural phenomenon of human-kind. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 6070 Registered: 05-2005 |
Well said, Andrew. I've not read The Slap (the premise didn't appeal to me), nor anything else he has previously written. | ||
| Stuart Wilson Member Username: Stuart Post Number: 890 Registered: 10-2006 |
The premise appealed to me a lot, I remember, I liked the idea of a single sudden act of anger having a series of radiating repercussions, but in the end the book seemed to lose interest in its own idea,and left me cold. I think the main thing I took away from the story is that basically everyone in Melbourne is on drugs of some kind, which seemed a bit far-fetched, but you never know. | ||

A newspaper article discussing the apparent possibility of this year's literature Nobel going to a singer-songwriter - the names being Dylan, Cohen and, to everyone's surprise here, Roberto Vecchioni. I know very little of Vecchioni's work, so I'd better get a move on and investigate - a highly intelligent & likeable chap though, also a novelist and teacher. In terms of overall cultural impact, the other Bob must be way-out front runner, and the most deserving: but I have a deep affection for Leonard and his carefully wrought odes to women and despair; and of the three he might be the only one who could actually do with the cash. | ||

I have been reading the Moz, some brilliant writing contained within and very funny in places, far too much time spent on trial (I wonder if this is why he fell out with the publishers?) though and he is strangely obsessed with chart placings and consequently we get a lot of unnecessary bitching about which day his album went on sale compared to Keane's and if it had gone on sale one day before it would have been number 1 variety. Am ploughing through it though and enjoying it immensely | ||

Mike Scott - Adventures of a Waterboy Half way through this fine book. I reckon I could just about sing a badly misremembered version of the chorus to Whole of the Moon, and that's my sum knowledge of Scott's work, which in no way detracts from my huge enjoyment of his story here. He should certainly have been partially subsidised by the Irish tourist board, writing so rapturously of his experiences there, and the West coast in particular, that you just want to throw a pair of walking boots into a backpack and book a plane ticket. Anecdotal, but never slight, sharing with the Keef biog the sense that, whatever may be going on around him, it’s the vital, all-embracing surge of music-making that carries his life forwards. Very good on the painful task of negotiating with companies, with many neat portraits of the “legends, sharks, conmen, sharpshooters, cynics, eccentrics and a few spectacular hot-air balloonists in love with the sound of their own voices”, as well as the glories and glitches of the musician’s life, how one moment you’re dominating an important London stage with the world at your feet, and the next playing a leaky, freezing marquee in a car park outside Aberdeen. A great read. | ||

The leaked J.D. Salinger short story... "The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls" Much as I believe that artists' wishes should be upheld, Salinger's obligation that this story is not to be published until 2060 is a wee bit bizarre. Especially as I'll be probably dead by then. Anyway, this is certainly essential reading for fans of Holden Caulfield, with Kenneth in this story becoming Allie in 'The Catcher in the Rye' and his older brother Vincent renamed as D.B. And we get to meet Phoebe as a baby... | ||

The Moz autobiog. He’s the only pop star who my heart still beats a little bit strangely for, so a read of this was inevitable, but I do wish he’d been guided to elaborating the first third, an absorbing impressionistic swipe around his childhood and Manchester full of tantalising anecdotal nuggets. Then the Smiths as the great leap free, and that would have done very nicely, and perhaps been something of a masterpiece: instead the group is tied up and abandoned in about thirty pages. After that, a little solo life, and then we’re into the Court Case, where the writing slumps and it’s a bit like peering through the blinds of a Dickensian studio where a gibbering old man fling documents in the air and says, Look, I was right, look, I was right, over and over again. Then a final 100 or so pages about wild audience love on endless tours, with a rather odd need to provide the exact number of tickets sold at each venue. You can see why the court thing obsesses him – fleeing uniformed comprehensive inferno, suddenly, there he is, back in the schoolmasterish world of British justice, being smacked down by Authority yet again. But it’s hard to understand why a wealthy and intelligent man couldn’t get decent legal representation and appears to be left floundering with an elusive bunch of half-wits. The big gap is a glimpse of the engine room where the Morrissey/Marr chemistry took fire and blazed down the building: the creative process is hard to describe, but if that’s what makes certain lives worth living, then for god’s sake, at least have a go. It could really have been worthy of its publishing house; but, as it is, not quite. | ||
