I heard there was a possibility of her writing the Tiffany books, but I think she's since said they want the series to finish with Terry.

I loved the subversion in Season 1 when you meet Diane's family. They were broad stereotypes… of Bostonians.

She did pay attention - she noticed the one that he'd written for himself. Something like 'I value you' or something and she smiled (I thought they were going to have a moment, but she just went on signing the rest).

I'd never heard of the 'give the mouse a cookie thing' - I've just read up on it and realised that joke was really funny.

If we're talking this year I'd recommend Anatomy of a Soldier by Harry Parker. It's the story of a British soldier who loses his legs in a IED attack (it's never quite specified where but I think it's implied, especially considering the author's own experience, to be Afghanistan). The interesting thing about the…

You part of an onomatopoeia book-club or something?

I actually said during the diner scene 'Finally! A responsible adult!' I suppose in hindsight he was too good to live…

It's weird to hear Rose Leslie and Rory McCann read their lines in their natural accents…

But Vincent Donofrio made it work, dammit!

Kinda… It was ostensibly a book about a Black Sabbath album (part of the 331/3 series), even if he turned it into a novel. Wold was his first official novel.

Oh for sure, definitely not saying they could have written such works without having Lovecraft's stuff to play around with.

Chelsea did a great job. I remember how the 'liberal media' treated this woman, then a young girl a few years older than me, as a punchline. 'Look at that 12-year-old's clothes! Her braces! Not hot, am I right?' If you're under 30, it seems impossible to believe that happened. But it absolutely did.

Probably, but I was stating my opinion. I don't speak for Moore, obvs.

I was wishing for more unreleased/obscure stuff, but I think the idea is that each song is relevant to the story. It's more of a curated playlist for the book, with the bonus of hearing some pre-fame Bruce. Money grab? Probably, but it works for me…

Oh Moore is problematic as hell, and I really dislike his reliance on rape in his stories, but he's a far better writer than Lovecraft is what I was getting at.

Yeah, my experience is that the ideas are interesting, but have been better handled by better writers like China Mieville or Alan Moore.

Definitely - there was also a lot of comment on celebrity culture in The Atrocity Exhibition that is pretty relevant to the Trump thing…

I love it when they play on the characters' animal characteristics, but play it completely straight.

Wasn't T-Pain a big thing back then?

In the UK last year we had a phenomenon called 'Shy Tories' or something like that, where people were too embarrassed to say they were voting Conservative and so most polls leading up to election day showed Labour gaining a comfortable victory, but when it actually came to the vote they all came out for the Cons.
