The hard-cover edition is 7.19 on amazon, I picked up mine I think for 4.50 in an upmarket used book shop in Hay-on-Wye (a brilliant place for librophiles). Would recommend it, it's told in a narrative chronological manner but the chap uses historical sources and contemporary accounts to furnish his narrative. But none of that makes it boring.

(just saw a copy on Amazon 1p with 2.80 delivery, it depends if you are worried about annotations/condition)

Yes I do recommend Up Pohnpei /late

I'm in the middle of reading "Sirens", which is the memoirs of an ambulanceman. It's the book that inspired the Sirens C4 show. It's amusing.

I'm currently reading Dracula on the e-Reader my misses gave me as classic books are free. I'm enjoying it so far even if I do sometimes stumble over the structure of some sentences.

Just picked up 'This Book is Full of Spiders" the sequel to "John Dies At The End" by David Wong, hilarious and brilliant so far, same with the first.

Started reading Trainspotting the other day, deciphering all the text written in Scots is a pain in the ass.

Haha, my ex gave up on it actually.

Once you get into the mindset, it gets fairly easy. I think it adds to the immersion of the story.

I found it easy enough

Justicar's right though, these books are tough at the beginning then you get used to the words and phrases. I remember having the same problem with Clockwork Orange.

I'm not as "in to" books as I used to be, I used to love reading, mostly the Harry Potter books and Golden Compass et al. Nowadays it's mostly football books and autobiographies, for example I'm reading Neil Warnock's Wembley Way. A book about Warnock's triumphant promotion season with Argyle when he took us up from the old fourth division to the third via a play-off win.

Bought it online second hand and when it came I realised it'd been signed by Warnock too!

I had the same with Clockwork Orange. Such a mental book.

You know what the best thing about Trainspotting is? I can lay down on the couch and revel in all it's awesomeness and technically still be doing schoolwork \o/

The worst part? I've got less than a third of it left to read.

It's part of a series so you can go onto Porno and Skagboys if you want

I already have Porno in my book collection and I'll probably buy Skagboys the next time I'm getting new books.

I have other books I need to read for school though. :/

Spent about half an hour looking through the Irish history section before deciding on this book (small book store, about one shelf of Irish history). 1916-1923 is my favorite time of Irish history and Collins is my favorite person in Irish history so it was an easy decision in the end.

Finally finished Trainspotting this morning. I don't think a book has ever managed to gross me out the way it did in some chapters, fucking brilliant anyway.

Wasn't sure what to read so just going through Papillon and Banco again.

I'd prefer that over a chapters about "The Worst Toilet in Scotland" or squeezing out the contents of a used tampon into soup.

Man, I've never been as close to throwing up because of something I've read as I was when I went through that chapter about the waitress at the restaurant. Urgh.

Aye, I read a couple of chapters of the Swedish translation a few years ago, up until the one where Renton and Spud have job interviews. Never finished it though.

This time I read the original, untranslated edition of the book.

Picked this up a while ago in a second-hand book shop. Just started it, really enjoying it so far.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5136JFD6dxL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

If that's your scene and you haven't read it I can't speak highly enough of A People's Tragedy.

Probably the only history book I'd read for personal enjoyment instead of for my degree.

Russian history is a real side interest for me. My degree(s) is(are) heavily based around Roman Imperal history/archaeology.

Wish-listed, thanks!
