After "The Wasp Factory", I read "Liar's Blade" by Tim Pratt. It's one of the "Pathfinder Tales", and one of the ones I've enjoyed most in that series - indeed, I'd be inclined to recommend it to fans of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.
And then I read "The Thirteen-Gun Salute" by Patrick O'Brian - yet another installment in his Aubrey/Maturin series. Good book, though I strongly recommend reading the series in order. (And, yes, I can recommend the series.)
I'm now reading "Only You Can Save Mankind", by Terry Pratchett, after which I'll read the other two parts of his Johnny Maxwell trilogy.
It was good. Sadly, I got the end spoiled for me. Oh well.
Hehehe, ZB is the second person I convinced to read Factotum. So how is the Dirty Old Man, ZB?
Yup, yup and yup. Post Office still is my favorite, cause he does all of what you mentioned while working for the guberment. Somehow it touched a cord.I must say I'm very glad you pointed me in that direction. dood could write. Short and kind of quick reads but it's all depression, alcoholism, violence and sex. Like, perfection, yanno? Yeah, you know. I enjoy books like that. Works that paint a world we've seen from a very different angle than most people will ever bother to see. Good stuff.
