Well, I quite fancy the Patricia Cornwell one, Weber... | ||

That's the Cornwell and the Carroll gone (when the Mickster sends me his details. Does anyone else want to swap some books... this seems like a good thread to do it on. | ||

I'm also going to throw in Sex and drugs and sausage Rolls by Ian rankin The No 1 Ladies detective agency by Alexander McCall Smith | ||

That is indeed Ian Rankin, not Robert. It's the Rebus novel where he'd smoked a bit too much of the wacky backy. Either that or I made an amusingly humourous error. | ||

Haven't read 'Outside The Dog Museum', Weber, and it's next on my Jonathan Carroll list (read his first five). Due to problems with my bank I'm currently without a debit card and got no way of making online purchases, booking flights, etc. Does anyone know of a way round this that doesn't involve getting a credit card. Is there some sort of top-up card system that can be used for online shopping/booking? | ||

If you have a PayPal account, Stephen, I guess you could put cash in there (not sure how) and use that? I'm not really sure ... just guessing. | ||

You can make direct cash transfers into a Paypal account. However, to verify it when setting an account up, you may need a working credit or debit card. | ||

Weber, I still must read "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" - it's on my pile. I expect it to be really good but you seem to think otherwise? | ||
| Weber_gregston (Weber_gregston) Username: Weber_gregston Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.56 |
It's readable. It didn't rock my world. More than a bit predictable. | ||

But if anyone wants a copy let me know - it's well worth the nothing you need to pay for it... | ||

I've got a good condition duplicate copy of Ramsey Campbell's Scared Stiff for exchange if anyone happens to need it. After reading some posts on here I'm rather eager to read some Barbara Vine/Ruth Rendell, which isn't something I'd have considered before. I've also just received a parcel of review titles from Peter Owen publishers which included a brand new but duplicate copy of Endo's Silence, so that's available too! | ||

Patrick - Gary Fry's the on board Rendell expert here, but in my opinion there aren't too many duff'uns (although personally I'd steer clear of the Inspector Wexford stories). | ||

I've just posted the two books I was asked for today. they should be with the lucky recipients tomorrow. I reccommend king Solomon's Carpets if you're looking for a Barbara Vine. I loved it. | ||

Mr patrick, Scared Stiff is one that I don't have. Can you drop me an email and I'll give you my snail mail address. | ||
| Patrick Walker (Patrick_walker) Username: Patrick_walker Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 92.40.226.247 |
Sorry, a little late in responding. You're welcome to it. But how do I find your email address? | ||

'Scared Stiff' is one of my very favourite Ramsey Campbell books. There is something intensely dark and satanic and powerfully sexual about the tales in that book that raises them above the norm for his short stories and makes them all the more frightening as a result. Wait until you've read 'Dolls', 'Lilith's', 'The Seductress' & 'Merry May' and then tell me about how to really scare the pants off a reader with mere words!! | ||

I agree. In the early nineties, when I first met a girlfriend (who is now my wife) she was browsing my bookcase and she read aloud, with a bemused look on her face, "Scared Stiff - Tales of Sex and Death???" Despite that start, she managed to overcome any reservations she might have had. | ||

Gotcha. | ||

Well, I'm sorry about all this but for some reason my email won't send to your address. Drop me a mail instead if you want the book and include your snail mail in there. | ||

My turn to ask you what your email addy is... | ||

Not a book, but anyone a fan of old hard-to-find classic noir harboiled flicks?... I taped JOHNNY O'CLOCK (1947) off the TV and burned it to DVD - and boy was I surprised how well-done it was! Stars Dick Powell, Lee.J. Cobb, and Nina Foch, and directed by Robert Rossen (ALL THE KING'S MEN, THE HUSTLER). Never released to VHS or DVD. If you already go in for this kind of film? You'll love it, my guarantee... a cut above the usual fare.... | ||

Whoops! Meant to say also starring Evelyn Keyes... and having to correct that doesn't necessarily make me anal.... |
