9thdoctor Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Here's a year end round up of the funny and the odd from the literary world:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/8204052/Literary-Life-2010.htmlThis is the first I've heard of a new Mervyn Peake book being discovered. Here's another choice bit:Sentence of the year, which won the Bulwer-Lytton Contest for bad writing: 'For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity’s affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss – a lengthy, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity’s mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world’s thirstiest gerbil' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9thdoctor Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 I just popped in on this site, and they got around to spoofing Rand. Eh, it's only so-so as a joke. I like the Dahl one better; there’s lots there, it’s a funny site (link above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
