I realised that (from the thread title!) a few minutes after clicking 'Submit post', but then forgot to go back and edit my post or add another to say I knew they were books and not DVDs or BDs!

I think I've got the 80's and 90's ones back at my mum's house. They were massive if I remember rightly. Almost finished The Colour of Magic, which has been pretty damn good. Never read any Terry Pratchett before. |

Just started reading "The Japanese Devil Fish Girl And Other Unnatural Attractions" by Robert Rankin. |

Presently reading "Southern Gods" by John Hornor Jacobs which is a strange mix of H.P. Lovecraft, hard boiled crime fiction and the myth of bluesman Robert Johnson. I'm also reading Kenneth Grant's "The Magical Revival" which is a history of Western occultism from Mr Grant's somewhat unique point of view. Lots of stuff about Austin Osman Spare here. I've just finished "Wyrd Tales 2:A New English Heretic Library Reader". This is a mix of weird occult/sci fi fiction, hauntological tracts, and a lovely and loving piss take on 80s industrial lp covers and bands. You get a CD with it too. |

I've got about 3/4 way through Marc Almond's biography but I'm going to give up on it as it's getting just a tad repetitive. It reminds me of Antony Keidis's 'oh woe is me'biography which I read when I had nothing else to read. Self pity and a massive drug intake doesn't make for good readin, well not 400 pages anyway. Now I've moved on to Bill Drummond and Mark Manning's absolutely filthy and hilarious The Wild Highway. I've read other books by both of them and they make for great reading, a mixture of Gonzo and de Sade - well worth tracking down if you're not easily offended

Actually Marc Almond talks about meeting him in his autobiography. I think I'd rather have read about Manning to be honest.

Is that the book where Zodiac battles a thinly disguised Sisters of Mercy?
