How important is literature.
That's not a question. Literature is important. And no
one knows that better than Nakedfella. Nakedfella has seen
the young multitudes, reading Babysitters Club books, and
said nothing. Rather, he has begun this neat book club -
a little place on the World Wide Web where we can advise

Yet another semi-fictional book on Internet 'culture',
made mediocre by its subject matter, then nauseating by

Deep within the core of our planet lives a being... a powerful
being... a being that cannot be seen, or heard, or touched,
or even smelled. In fact, no one knows it exists. And as
long as we can't see, hear, touch or smell it, no one ever
will. But it's an incredibly scary thing to know that there's
something lurking in the shadows that can never hurt you.

Book Of The Month
Brendan 'Jif' McMartram and Phillip Kunt
Ridin' With The Pillboys
RockBooks Ltd
It's a rollicking roller-coaster ride through rock remnants
as Jif, the bass player with '60s breakouts The Groovemakers,
with the help of actual writer Kunt, outlines the triumphs
and (literally) trials of a life on the road with his fellow
veterans of rock history. Jif details his six marriages,
the band's six breakups (and subsequent reformations) and
makes the reader truly understand just why they are affectionately
known as the Pillboys.
