4 Those of uwho like to read....

[Tigger]

I've recently found a series of books by an author called Robert Rankin - and bloody hell they are FUNNY!

They're kind of like a story Jaxx, Cat, Tonks and Ste would come up with at 5am after a big night out!

Has anyone else come across any of them?

Titles like -

The Brentford Chainsaw Massacre
Nostradamus Ate my Hamster
The Dance of the Voodoo Handbag

and many more.

Give one a try - they are TW|$TED to the extreme!!!

Well if you want a laff try the dance of the voodoo handbag - I'm just starting it but it's had me in staiches so far with bits like:

(After this Private Investigator who's in a looney farm makes a tit of himself and gets medicated)

I lay strapped to my bunk, effing and blinding and hurting and bleeding and waiting for the medication to kick in and plunge me once more into oblivion.
But just before it did, I heard a little voice calling me. Calling me from inside my head. It was the voice of Barry, my Holy Guardian Sprout. Offering me solace and comfort.
'That might have gone a little better, chief,' it said.

Adding later, 'You twat!'

Or if you fancy trying a more normal story the Inspector Rebus series by Ian Rankin is a top read as well!

Here - this is the description from the Voodoo Handbag book:

Henry Doors is the world's richest man. His company, Necrosoft, doesn't just market computer software, it sells immortality. Henry has created the Necronet, a virtual world where you can live out your wildest fantasies, be anyone and do anything. For ever. All you have to do is sell your soul to science.

Billy Barnes is the worlds most ruthless individual. When Billy isn't feeding bits of his granny to the voodoo handbag, he's furthering his ambitions. To control Necrosoft and run the planet. His way.

Lazlo Woodbine is the worlds greatest private eye. And Lazlo's on the case. Or he will be, as soon as he can persuade the doctor to release him from his straightjacket.

Barry is the world's most famous sprout. He lives in Lazlo's head and he is confused by all of the above.

In what must surely be his most extraordinary work yet, the Teller of Tall Tales has combined his extensive knowledge of the occult with his unique brand of savage humour to create a Techno-Gothic masterpiece guaranteed to send shivers down the spines of PC users everywhere.

Winner
