  • A Feast for Crows Part 2 - The House of Black and White

    EEEEH-HEEE! It's time for the second part of our romp/saunter/seemingly endless march through George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. Today it's a feast indeed: we've got a continuingly mental Red Woman, a continuingly self-obsessed Cersei, and Matt's tortured uncertainty about male nipples. But more than any of that, ARYA STARK ARRIVES SOMEWHERE! It's the moment we've been waiting for, three books after she left home - celebrate with us, and give us your thoughts on this bit of the book, @sharkliveroil on Twitter and [email protected].

  • Mort Part 1: I Could Murder.......A Curry

    We're back, and we're doing a modern classic - Terry Pratchett's Mort. Watch as we meet Death himself and discover he loves a skull-wax, digs curry, and cares more for cats than you might normally expect. This is a bit of a heartfelt one for Dave, since Terry Pratchett is a hero of his; and in his honour, we've gone looking for the surreal and the beautiful in this book. And when you've got a deathly horse called Binky, surreal beauty isn't far off. As ever, we want to hear your views on the book - and your best impressions of what Death sounds like. RECORD YOUR IMPRESSIONS OF HIM AND SEND THEM TO: [email protected].

  • I Am Legend 3: Am I Legend?

    It's the third part of our rolling, rollocking shamble through Richard Matheson's classic I Am Legend. This week, we've got paranoia, murky moral complexity, and wooden mallets to the face. We're also taking a look at the best that the internet has on I Am Legend, and wondering how exactly you're supposed to read out the title. We're looking for the next book to do so if you've got any ideas, or comments, or half-formed mutterings, send them to us, we love 'em all. Email [email protected], and tweet @sharkliveroil.
