historical high point for television
How was TV ever this highbrow?
I suppose nobody has the attention span/restriction of choice to watch something like this anymore.

Quoting my own post from Sept 3rd... I was already worried that that book was taking an incredibly long time to arrive then and now I'd basically given up on it ever coming, but it did finally turn up today. Almost exactly one month later than when it was already really late... it was easy to find the post when it was discussed though cos I think that was the only time the word "Percheron" has been used in the entire existence of Dissensus*. For those of you who don't know what it means it's a large French horse (kinda like a shire horse in the UK I think) - I only know this cos in the Accursed Kings series they were the only horses big enough to support the gigantic anti-hero Robert D'Artois. Anyway, I will embark on the book now before I drift off to sleep, it had better be good!I've recently ordered a book called The Deadly Percheron anyone know it? Some people I know recommended it very strongly indeed. Seems like it should be a noir kinda thing but weirder.
I've found myself alternating between "Wow, this writing is so erotic! So romantic! So mystical!", and "Eurgh, you pair of dirty Norfolk cousin-fuckers".I think his descriptions of shagging are the best I've ever read!

Good book though, enjoying it so far.
That's just in the first two chapters, with John and Mary Crow, of course. Moved on a bit since then. Just had the description of Nell Zoyland's cosmically wonderful tits.what page are you on? whats happening?

Spark is one of my favourite writers - there’s always lots going on in there in such a tight space. There’s always a moral/religious core to her work, a seriousness amidst the comic moments. I think Peckham Rye is intentionally backward looking and therefore feels even more alien.Just started Muriel Spark - The Ballad of Peckham Rye. Interesting so far - in itself as a book, and also because I find books about Britain, England, London and so on from that period incredibly jarring. Peckham in the 50s instantly seems more alien to me than Cuba or Japan or wherever I've travelled in countless other books - I suppose it's that uncanny valley thing again.
