When your literary mentor recommends a good book:

Here's what it recommends:

None of which I fancy, so not perfect then.

The Beano Annual from 1998 is a classic.

Are there any guns in it G?

Your literary mentor is quite obviously an enormous horse's cock when it comes to book recs

I'd recommend you employ another horse's cock

A better one... with hookers... and gin... and a joint and a voddy and red-bull.

If only I could tell you why that's so funny, gonna keep me smiling through this morning's cycle ride, which I'm avoiding as long as possible 'cause it's cold out there.


Many thanks for the book recs, you're a will look into them. But you can't be my music AND literary guru, or I may as well just become your bitch and support the filthy bead rattling, fenian scum, and that's not going to happen. BJK, Rangers FTP, UVF, UDA etc etc......

Donna Tart wrote two best sellers. One in my opinion was great and the other was shit but I can't remember which was which.

My favourite book is One Hundred Years of Solitude

What is this mentor stuff based on? is he/she/they someone who makes you want to write, or just you,re fav authour? i love loads of different things, i read and have re-read Phillip Pullmans "Dark materials trilogy" love them to pieces, also the same applies to the Flashman novels by George Mcdonald Fraser, i,ve never wanted to pick up the quill and write though.
