Platform


I’m reading a book called ‘Platform’ at the moment by Michel Houellebecq that throws up an interesting quote;

‘The more contemptible his life, the more a man clings to it; it thus becomes a protest, a retribution for every moment’

Honoré de Balzac

And when I’ve read this book I’ve got Marylin Manson’s biography to read – now that does look interesting!

Platform is, indeed, great. Much better than Atomised (although that's worth checking out too).

In a wonderful moment of synchronicity, I just ordered an advance copy of Houellebecq's new novel The Possibility Of An Island. Let's hope it's as rude as the other ones...
