The sailor trod over the glittering glass
A-dazzle with jags of red
And came to a man leaning over a wall
With a shadow above his head.
"Can you tell me the nearest First Aid Post"
The sailor said to the man,
But the lounging figure made no reply
For the back of his head was gone.
The sailor wiped the sweat from his face
And he laughed in a hapless way,
"O Christ! little fish" he said to the babe
"This isn't no place to stay"
vivastory I really need to read Peake 😬 2y
Bookwomble @vivastory He's one of my absolute favouritest authors, so I think you really need to read him also, but that's not an objective recommendation 😏 2y
vivastory I've had the Gormenghast books for awhile. They look fantastic! I don't know if you saw, but Backlisted recently had an episode on them. 2y

Bookwomble @vivastory They're fantastically rich novels. There was talk of Neil Gaiman adapting them for one of the streaming services, he being a big fan of Peake, though what stage it's at, or even if it's still going ahead, I'm not sure. I don't listen to Backlisted, though I do keep getting directed to it. Maybe next time I have a big pile of ironing to get through! 2y
Graywacke @vivastory noting Backlisted on Peake! I haven‘t read Peak, and I haven‘t listen to the podcast in a long time. But this is great motivation. 2y
vivastory @Graywacke Although I don't listen to every episode, they're one of my favorite podcasts. 2y
Graywacke @vivastory i really enjoy them. I just don‘t do podcasts much. Usually too busy trying to get through the next audiobook. (Although lately i need mindless. I‘m working through the Rolling Stone Magazine top 500 albums, starting at #500, of course.) 2y
vivastory @Graywacke That sounds like a fun project! I should take a look at the list. I listen to A LOT of Spotify bc of my job and am always looking for albums to add to my library (new & old) 2y
