I've started Error Australis by Ben Pobjie, only a couple of chapters in and I have already had many LOL moments.

Ha ha, yes Kathryn, but I'm already loving the narrator, and don't worry, I'm prepared for bleak!

This was a re-read & it's still as silly yet strangely addictive as the first time I read it 8 years ago.

That was the thing about the Twilight series. It was totally addictive. So many people criticise it but it certainly had a certain something:)
