I've read 2 or 3 of those, and thoroughly enjoyed them.

It's pretty good, even if I don't know the full backstory of Soap and Pooley.

I'm also slogging through Waiting for Goldalming, which I'm just about to give up on. It's soooo disjointed and self-consciously "metafiction" that it's nearly unreadable.

Curious....

When AC/DC sing "Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll" in America.... does everyone sing "Its a long way to the shop if you wanna sausage roll" like we always did here in Oz?

Or "Its a long way to the bog when you really wanna go"
Not a great fan of Rankin prefer Tom Holt

Loved the original Brentford trilogy-have found everything since to be increasingly laboured attempts to match them

For fans of Robert Rankin - if you have a Poundland near you, check it out as they had first edition hardbacks of Knees Up Mother Earth in the Cardiff branch for £1 (well it is Poundland).

You Brits get all the breaks! KUME is my favorite Rankin, yet no local bookstores sell it (had to borrow from the library).

If anyone would be kind enough to pick a couple up for me, I would gladly pay you DOUBLE what you paid for it(:D) plus shipping if you'd send it me.

No promises, Jeff, but I'll pop into the city centre tomorrow and see if they still have any. :wink:
