I read another Robert Rankin book a while ago, and really didn't get on with it.. but I should give more of his a try..
You reccomended "Pigs Don't Fly" a while ago, but its out of print in the UK, and I keep forgetting to buy it from Amazon resellers..
J has stolen the latest Aberystwyth book off me while I read "The Big Over Easy"..
Anyway, we were discussing ow to describe the Aberystwyth books.. and one line J was reading kind of summed it up..
"I nodded in encouragement. I wouldn't go as far as to say she smiled - she was a capuchin monnkey and they keep their cards close to their chest - but a look of heightened interest was evident"
Its just the noir-ness combined with the absurd.. *LOL* Absurd-noir is the whole new genre he came up with *L*
Sorry, I mustn't tempt you any more!!
let me know when you do break down and buy the first one.. a few "Brit-isms" might need clearing up!!
