Madman  I hate Stella, always giving me a headache!

Never floods?

So another thread has got me thinking.  What books are on your must read list?  Here's my incomplete list, but some that have changed my outlook on life.

1984 - Terrifyingly accurate account of today, written in 1949.  Tin foil hat required

Catch 22 - It'll twist your mind.  The plot jumps all over the place and is described by different characters at different times.  If someone can explain this book to you in detail other than the storyline then you are in superior company.  Perseverance is the name of the game here

American Psycho - IMO an Brett Easton-Ellis is an underrated writer, the film is crap, read this for a truly graphic account of a psychopath at work.

The girl next door - not one for the mothers or indeed females, many cannot finish the book.  A real life account of peer pressure and the cruelty that one human being can do to another.

Naked Lunch - The tale of drug addicts from their perspective.  Accurate and frightening in the first, sad and depressing in the second.  A detailed account of what goes through their heads from start to finish.

The Art of War - Deep and complicated but will leaving you in no doubt why there is never a war free day on the planet and the reasons why humans can't stop doing it.  This book left me annoyed and wanting answers, answers that even today (16 years later) i cannot answer.

A Clockwork Orange - lots of people don't get Burgess, those that do appreciate the literary genius that he was  A truly nightmare book to read and i read it 3 times before i could really understand what was going on.  *Requirement to almost learn a new language*.

Don Quixote - Probably the only piece of Spanish literature that i've ever read.  To understand modern literature you have to have read this book.

The Bible - I've read it and I don't believe in any of it but i am a big believer in that if you've never read it cover to cover then you should hold your tongue in religious arguments for you cannot know all the facts!

List away people.

The Goblin was causing me some fraught times earlier today! After a stern telling off and the threat of the salt water bucket it is now behaving!

Four posts make it easy to build on, airflow is insane, flavour is ok. For £17 you can get an original in this country, they're fairly inexpensive. The drip tip in the photo makes this dripper chuck the clouds and i've had mine to 0.06 ohms airflow fully open without even a hint of heat. If your're gonna get one then you had better be able to lung hit
