![]() Council worker Roger joined the ASBO unit because new departments are the best places to avoid work. Feeling oddly blank about the death of his father and wanting to escape the office, he goes to investigate a condemned tower block on the notorious Composer's estate. Looking down from the third floor, Roger is mesmerised by the sight of local kids - mostly characters he recognises from the ASBO lists - drinking and fighting in the piazza below. He returns regularly, and even invites his colleague Spence along one night. Spence intentionally leaves his brand new Mercedes unlocked in the piazza, and waits for the fun to start. So the ASBO show is born. Soon Spence is hosting drug-fuelled parties for local dignitaries, celebrities, even hen nights, and Roger fears that his voyeurism has become corporate entertainment. Still, helped along by uppers and downers and his glamorous new girlfriend, he drifts along with it. By the time things get really ugly, it's much too late... |

Have you seen the film? It's ace. Reading Dr Mukti and Other Tales of Woe by Will Self. Pretty good so far. |

Nope, will have to check it out. I caught the end of Woman in the Dunes at the ATP cinema (damn inaccurate schedule). aim to try and score the DVD of that as well.

It's not quite as good as Woman In the Dunes but I rate that as one of my alltime favourite films. Another good one is Pitfall which I think was also based on an Abe novel. And they were all directed by Hiroshi Teshigahara and all, I think, feature Toru Takemitsu soundtracks. And all are ace.

I just started American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I've got to read it kind of fast as the Science Fiction board I admin at is having a group book read in February of Revelation Space by Alistair Reynolds.

I've pretty much almost read Our Band WIll Be Your Life over the past few days. Can't believe I hadn't read it before...really, really ace book. I still have about half of Against The Day to read as well (the new Pynchon) which is pretty good so far.
