I'm on page eight of 'Absurdistan' and want to slap him upside the pen. Word dancer, give me a break.
The audio version is available with either Arte Johnson or someone doing a really good imitation of Arte Johnson reading. I listened to it last year while doing circuits of the park.
If you can get through the irritating first part there are only the second, third and fourth irritation parts to finish.

Gosh, when did I write that?
But what's not to like? Okay it tails off at the finish, but I think the writing's a riot of unusual imaginative quirky bits.
The previous book, The Russian Debutant's Handbook, was maybe better I think.
But both good, highly entertaining to me.
Tell us if you can get thru your irritation, osso.
