What author Eddie?

Bit brave of you to buy 4 books in one go from an author you haven't read before too. I like to one book from a new guy before I buy any further.


BTW I am just finishing...

Don't know if I can finish this one..

Seems to have mixed reviews, any one read any of his books?

I started reading 'Wilt' after Tom Sharpe crashed into my Morris Traveller with his jag, in Dorchester, 20 years ago.

"Use of Weapons" is a cracker, just finished "Consider Phlebas" again too, must be the 3rd time around in amongst other stuff. What you couldnt do with a knife missile.
