I have read the da vinci code mate thats the most horrifying book I have ever read
It is a lovely book. I had to stop reading it for a bit once everyone got HIV as it got a bit much for me to take in. But it gets a thumbs up from me!
Da Vinci code is pedestrian fodder compared to Crowley.
"Do as thou wilt and that shall be the whole of the law" MUUAAHAAHAAHAAAAAAA!
...
It was definitely a golden era.
And yet, it's dead and buried - ask anyone in Vauxhall how much they know about Stonewall and the Garage.

I do like biographies / autobiographies, forensic crime, I also like a good scary book too
Phil thinks I have horrible taste in books and thinks I am only one step away from paying a subscription to Serial Killer Monthly.....

I might borrow that off you then, I could do with some new direction in my satanic rights!
I have no doubt that they dont have a clue about all that. It was a magic time and one I wish I could of seen. It was really shocking to read how HIV as good as wiped out a whole generation of young men.

I'll read most things, although a books blurb has to really grab my attention.
Joe Abercrombie has released 4 books in the last 3 or 4 years and I've read all of them. I'm not into fantasy, but they were all superb. Didn't bother with dwarves, trolls and unicorns and all that bollocks. Before that I've read all the dexter books which were also really good, although the last one was a bit so so.
Also for crime the first two books from Stieg Larssons millenium trilogy are really good, however I haven't read the 3rd one yet as it is due to be released out in a couple of months in english and I can't really be bothered to struggle reading it in swedish.

I used to read nothing but horror books when I was a kid!
I will read any biography about music / musicians
...and liberated young men who wanted to live!
If they could be alive to see how much apathy there is on the gay scene nowadays surrounding safe sex - not to mention self loathing, bio hazard, bug chasing risk takers, they'd all be turning in their graves!
Had they stayed alive then this generation would have more role models.
Anyways - I'm hijacking the book club thread with my diatribe now.
