So I’ve finished the audible ‘Battlefield Earth’ book by L Ron Hubbard, which is an absolutely fantastic science fiction piece. I realise he is the father of Scientology, but before he did all of that Shite he wrote some bloody fantastic science fiction in my opinion. I first read the book when I was about 16, and I’ve read it a number of times and have listened to the audio book a couple of times as well. I guess I just find it quite comforting and I just really admire his ability to weave a story.
I am also rereading ‘Elephant men’, which if you like graphic novels is an absolute must. Warring animsl hybrids, hippo private detectives and quite simply a fantastic and emotional romp.
And then I read ‘The Great Gatsby’.
Oh my fuck, how have I been so ignorant not to have Read it.
Story is decent, with some intriguing themes explored, but wow the writing. Truly something so bloody special that I have to resort to bastardry swearing as no words can do it fucking justice.
Fuck you F. Scott Fitzgerald for being so gorgeous…
Hmm…not sure I have a,future in book reviewing…
