He raised his voice, in order to be heard over the wild storm-wind and the din of what must be a couple of thousand wind-chimes hanging outside on the decrepit shack's porch, some made of old brass forks and bits of tin, others of bone or seashells, and most painted with the symbol of the Eye, a supposed ward against black magic.

And love better the book wherein you shouldn't, but do, and then the narrator calls you a 'smartarse' for having done so. Best narrator ever. Genre-defying, exciting, freaky, esoteric, brutal, horrifying, true, fantastical - loved this to bits.

Still, a decently creepy read if you can get past the appalling translation (or wooden writing, I'm not really sure which it is.) The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold Chick lit for morbid people. Beautiful, strange, uplifting. I also find myself suddenly obsessed with sinkholes. The Riders - Tim Winton This book gutted me. Gorgeous. Sad. Funny. Read it. The Invisibles - Grant Morrison Makes Gaiman look like kindergarten. Focault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco Dan Brown, for people who don't breathe through their mouths.

I'll cut the hearts from pharaohs I pull the road off of the rise Tear the memories from my eyes I drink a thousand shipwrecks Tonight I'll steal your paychecks I paint the sheets across my bed The birds will all fly from my head Take every dream that's breathing Find every boot that's leaving Shoot all the lights in the cafe And in the morning I'll be gone |
! I hope we get to see some nature-based amigurumis from you!
