Escape from God


"Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock ijust took a totally weird turn. Max was a slave in the clutches of someone who named themself God, Esme has been sold and Max was going to have hi seyes removed by God using a red hot poker, but his friend has rescued him and they are now somewhere in the Sahara. It has settled down a bit, but I don't know what is coming next.

Down The Nile


 

"Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock is stuck in Egypt, moving slowly down the Nile among the pyramids and stone pharoahs with Max and Co making films and Max going on about how hard done by he is. I am more than halfway through, but it is not the most exciting read; however, something is keeping me reading it.

Road To Cairo



"Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock: Max and Esme travel to North Africa with Captain Quelch to make a film in Egypt. They are working their way across the Mediterranean coast and have arrived in Cairo. Max is still complaining that he has been robbed and that other people have taken what should have been his. I would not like to know him at all, but he is almost like Forrest Gump, and we learn a little of history because of who he meets and what he attempts to do.

Casablanca Mood



  "Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock, see Max and Esme in North Africa with Captain Quelch to make a film in Egypt. According to Pyat (Max), Africa's coastal towns and cities are run down to hide the riches within the continent. I still don't really know where this is going, and it is still like wading through quicksand, but I still want to know what happens next.

On To jerusalem



 "Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock is underway, and still the text is dense as ever, difficult to read, but I need to know what the next scrape Pyat will get into. There is a lot of racism and misogyny floating about, but that is the nature of the story. This is another long, difficult haul, but the reviews of the book (this is number 3) are positive, and I will finish this and volume four too.

Apparently, there were eight years between this and The Laughter Of Carthage. It was published in 1991.

Muudy Treacle


"The Outrun" by Amy Liptrot, is now finished and very uplifting, although you don't expect that when you read the prologue. Highly recommended.

The book brings into play the magic and mysticism of OrkneyStanding Stones and Skara Brae, as well as the wildlife. There are magic disappearing islands and lots of references to Celtic mythology.


Now the 577 pages of "Jerusalem Commands" by Michael Moorcock is ready for reading, to find out more about Pyat. Into the muddy treacle once more.
