My internet crashed about 3 hours ago, and in my utter boredom I was flicking the channels. I stumbled across a show titles The First Tuesday Book Club.

From the opening credits, I discovered it was a show with 3 recurring panellists and 2 weekly guests who choose two books, read them over a month, and then spend half an hour talking about them.

I was intrigued.

And rightfully so, because the first book they spoke about was [i]The Raw Shark Texts[/i], which i've been hearing so much about around here. They all loved it. (They did this hilarious dramatization to give a basic plot summary, I was in hysterics).

One of the guests was Richard E Grant, and he talked about [i]The Adventures Of Alice In Wonderland[/i], his all-time favourite book.

This thread isn't posing a question, but I just had to write about it. And I really want to read The Raw Shark Texts now.

Yes- RST is highly recomended around the Cult. Im not up to date but I heard Stephen Hall is holding the discussion for an upcoming book club! I read it a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Definitley worth checking out.
