Desert Island Discus

[erastes]

*Happy rather caffeined skipping*

I’m still stranded on Jessewave’s Desert Island – I’m there today and tomorrow and having a ball (or six). The Cabana Boys are delicious at discus (In the classic Greek style e.g. naked)  and my Magic Bukkit™ has not run out of Bollinger yet.

Today I’m sharing my top four (of Seven) EER (Erastes’ Essential Reads) which you’ll have to go HERE to find out what they are and why.  I’ll discuss the rest tomorrow, together with some secrets of how to write a sex scene in the seventeenth century that heats but does not revolt.

The only thing that should be revolting in the English Civil War is Cromwell, after all.

Are the Cabana Boys going fishing for you later? Braincell food!

I is Lolrus! Can fish for myself!

Ahh, fill your bukkit with fish then!

Well, fish - SHAPED at least. Champagne botties are fish shaped!

The bottle-nosed dolphins like looking after champers ;p

I must confess that I didn't get into 'At Swim', and I'm not quite sure why. I know a lot of people do love it. I may re-read it another time, sometimes things 'grab' me more on a second read.

Have you read 'Adam' by Anthony McDonald? I thought it was absolutely superb.

No, I haven't read that, I tend to stick to historical fiction really, but I'll try it!

So do I. I wasn't convinced to try a modern day story at first, but it is so worth it.
