Elric of Muffnibone

There needs to be a porno with that theme. The director can be called Mr. Morecock.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Starring Ron Jeremy.

Oh, God. Ron Jeremy in Elric cosplay.

The cover of the film would be Ron doing the pose from Elric at the End of Time.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I think Elric at the End of Time is my second favorite Whelan cover while The Weird of the White Wolf is my favorite.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Here, let me ruin that for you. Ron Jeremy nude on both of those.

Well, I already thought that would be the case so...I was prepared, BITCH!

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Mournblade sucks the life out of... you know, I probably shouldn't go there.

Ugh. You could say we wouldn't ...envy a task so vile.

 

[CiG]

Baremaidens.com should do this, but as a gender flip. Because fuck Ron Jeremy. Hot female Elric would rule.

Props for Siddhartha! Great novel. Still, I prefer Steppenwolf.

Anyone ever read this or come across it in their travels? It was written by anthropologist Penny Miller, who happens to be the mother of filmmaker Richard Stanley (Hardware, Dust Devil) Ever since hearing Stanley bring it up in an interview its been beckoning me to it, but I don't really feel like paying $40 for it which is the cheapest I've found it for so far. Fascinating content and the artwork is pretty great (courtesy of this page):

This is probably worth $40. One of my old teachers has a copy of it and he spoke extremely highly of it.

Sorta steampunk-y, dystopian novel about confused identities, artificial creations and the like. Very poetic language too.

Randomly found this haul today at a thrift store. Perfect condition, the first 23 issues of Gin Tama (which I have never heard of) for just $17.

This is supposed to be good. I'm reading his Southern Reach trilogy now.

 

[Sirjack]

Yeah l was recommended the Southern Reach trilogy, that will be next on my list l feel. Although l have to say l was a tad disappointed in City of Saints & Madmen. There are a few terrific stories and some honestly bland going nowhere stories. l also didn't get a great feel for his city as l have done with Meville'. His stuff is amazing, The Scar was terrific.
lm reading Steph Swainston' The Castle Omnibus at the minute and it is beyond good. Utterly fantastic.

Is "The Picture of Dorian Gray" a good novel? I'm supposed to read it for my studies.

I think it's a phenomenal book. Classic gothic fiction.
