![]() ![]() ![]() That part from the Netflix film about Ozzy Osbourne snorting ants out of a sidewalk crack? It was first detailed in this book, which also addresses the band’s scuffles with everyone from Axl Rose to Pamela Anderson. The book became an immediate hit when it was released, charting on the New York Times Best Sellers list for multiple weeks, thanks to its sordid - and occasionally graphic - tales of life on the road, which fans and readers lapped up. Released in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the group’s founding, The Dirt gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at the rise of the band, their backstage antics, rocky romances, and ultimately, the vices that lead to the group’s undoing and subsequent hiatus. The inspiration for the new biopic was this book, released in 2002 and penned by the four members of the band themselves (with an assist from journalist Neil Strauss). ![]()

His novels were wildly various, but share his obsession with objects, animals, specific works of art and pieces of music, his love of words and sense of humour. He also wrote the libretto for Harrison Birtwistle's opera The Second Mrs Kong (1994). Russell Hobans Riddley Walker was widely and favorably reviewed when published in 1980, with its language given special attention. He recounts his adventures over a few days after his naming day, when he becomes officially a man at age 12. ![]() ![]() Set in a post-apocalyptic England, the book is written by Riddley himself, in an English far enough removed from ours to slow my reading speed down to a normal pace. After its publication he continued to write for children (most notably perhaps the Captain Najork books with Quentin Blake and The Marzipan Pig), but focussed most of his energies on a sequence of wonderful novels, which began with The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz (1973) and ended with Angelica Lost and Found (2010). Fortunately Riddley Walker is just as good as all the reviews I'd read. He thought and wrote in an extraordinary range of genres, becoming first a bestselling writer of children's books, particularly the immortal Frances stories and his first novel, The Mouse and His Child (1968). Wandering a desolate post-apocalyptic landscape, speaking a broken-down English lost after the end of civilisation, Riddley Walker sets out to find out what. On his death in 2011, The Times described Russell Hoban as 'perhaps the most consistently strange writer of the late 20th century'. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And if you’re not a Michener fan, Centennial will make you one.

It’s astonishing that this masterpiece should have been essentially unknown to English-language readers for so long.” – Claire Messud, The New York Times Book Review If you’ve felt that you’re reasonably familiar with the literary landscape, ‘The Door’ will prompt you to reconsider. “New York Review Books Classics – acting, yet again, in its capacity as the Savior of Lost Greats – has now delivered this version to an American audience. They share a kind of love – at least until Magda’s long-sought success as a writer leads to a devastating revelation. And Emerence, in her way, has come to depend on Magda. ![]() She is Magda’s housekeeper and she has taken control over Magda’s household, becoming indispensable to her. She lives alone in a house that no one else may enter, not even her closest relatives. Emerence is a peasant, illiterate, impassive, abrupt, seemingly ageless. Magda is a writer, educated, married to an academic, public-spirited, with an on-again-off-again relationship to Hungary’s Communist authorities. The Door is an unsettling exploration of the relationship between two very different women. ![]() ![]() This is a slow burn romance but even when Victoria and Anna get together many of their intimate moments are off page or they have periods of being distant. ![]() I was expecting an intense, warm and fuzzy romance and instead it felt like an unhealthy relationship built more on lust and shared experience than true love. I should've gotten some insight into *why* she was so mean or get to know her in an endearing way through her internal thoughts or observations but that didn't happen. The fact that Victoria is unlikable was made all the weirder because half of the story is from Victoria's point of view. I would've enjoyed the book more if Victoria at least showed a sustained soft side at the very least towards Anna and that it occurred much earlier in the book. Unfortunately that answer was yes and it took until 80% before I *finally* saw her thaw a teeny bit. ![]() I didn't like Victoria and I kept asking myself if that was still the case as I moved through the book. Ice queen stories aren't fun if the ice-queen in question is 100% hostile all the time. ![]() Victoria, the lead love interest was someone I never liked which destroyed the book as a good romance for me. Many others seem to really enjoy this book, though, so your mileage may vary. I'm in the minority here but I didn't love this. ![]() |
