you could be a sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare, either way i don't wanna wake up from you
Okay so I totally forgot to post yesterday because I got caught up in the laziness of Sunday's. But ah well, we'll do my Sunday post now and my today post later! That makes sense.
day 01 | a song
day 02 | a picture
day 03 | a book
day 04 | a site
day 05 | a youtube clip
day 06 | a quote
day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy
I read a lot of random random books. Along with music, movies and to a lesser extent TV shows, I can enjoy any genre of a book providing it's half decent and so choosing one particular book out of all the ones I enjoy is hard.
And so I will choose a book from one of my favourite authors mainly because not many know about him. His name is Michael Marshall Smith, though he has released some books under Michael Marshall in a different genre (which I have not read yet). The book I will choose will be the first one I read called Only Forward. To summarise the book without ruining anything, the main Character is called Stark and he is hired to help find someone who's gone missing. Which sounds like average mystery drama. But this isn't for two reasons: the first is the setting. In all three of his novels he creates amazing settings, perhaps a peak into the future or just another world, but one similar to ours. In this one each neighbourhood is seperated from each other, each having a sort of theme. Stark lives in Colour, a neighbourhood whose inhabitants like to be co-ordinated with their surroundings. Then there's the slums of Red. Then there is a neighbourhood entirely for cats. You get the picture. Though I sometimes wish they ended up in a few more different neighbourhoods you soon get distracted by the second reason this isn't an average book which is severe mind fuck. I read this book without any preconceived notions on what it was about at all and half way through this book things just get a little crazy. In this book the characters eventually end up in a somewhat dream world called Jeamland. And that's when things get crazy.
The thing I like about this book, and indeed all of his books is that they are just different and on top of that they are still amazingly written including a few good old fashioned twists. And I mean I've now read all of his books (One Of Us, Spares and also a collection of short stories called What You Make It) and I love them all.
But yes that's my book.
In other news I have a job interview today. Hurrah! Nervous but trying not to think about it. But then tomorrow Sally is coming to visit. Yay!
