Blood Meridian is a strong contender for my favourite book of all time. I've just never read anything like it and the blend of frontier savagery and gothic mysticism just blew me away. I also love that it boldly disregards convention while remaining immensely readable. (To me, at least.) There's some amazing discussion around the web on the meaning and context of the novel. It works on so many levels.
I mainly stepped in here to recommend Stoner by John Williams. There's been a lot of hyperbole about this book in the last year so I won't prattle on but basically, Stoner was the most moving book I have ever read. In a sense it's a slow, gentle novel about the trials of a university professor. In another sense it's a beautiful, crushing treatise on existence. I can't really recommend it enough. It killed me.

Any thoughts on this Focus as an entry level bike?

- How would you have checked the welding of our frame sets if our bikes haven't arrived in the UK yet?
- How would you know whether they are not that light if you wouldn't have had the chance to pick one up and be able to tell?
So people should judge your brand on the completely intangible products you plan to release in the future? Rather than the years of shit bikes and argumentative dross you've posted on here?
Good luck with that.

I watched Olympus has fallen because I have flu and I wanted something brainless. It did not disappoint. By the numbers yankee propaganda, with a strong stink of the post-9/11 psyche. It had so many great America fuck yeah moments. Including a guy killing a terrorist using a bust of Lincoln. It was exactly the kind of shite I needed to go alongside my raging fever.
Agreed. So many LOLZ in this film.
My favourite 'Murica moment was probably when the female Secretary of State was being dragged away after being beaten to a pulp and she started screaming the pledge of allegiance.
Also, the plot was extremely special needs.

Alabama is so great in that film - brilliantly written, perfectly acted, iconically styled. She's just that amazing balance of vulnerability and badassery. I can rememember being totally in love with Patricia Arquette the first time I saw it. (Many years ago now.)
I am now watching True Romance today.
Any good recommendations for a new OTP ladies bike? I'm after a mixte or step-through kinda thing for a casual cyclist but want to avoid Halfords-style BSOs. Any help appreciated.
