... and this..

You're either a bit late or bloody keen

Well I am not late but to be honest I am certainly not keen. I just know that I should do it.

Sharpes Siege - Bernard Cornwall

going to cram a lot of reading into the next ten days whilst on holiday, already got Stephen Fry's The Liar on the go and have just bought Iain Banks's book Dead Air and also taking his book Complicity which I will be reading for about the fourth time it's that bloody good

I just recently found Iain Banks myself, both with and without the "M" - his sci-fi is really good too.

Use of Weapons is a pretty fantastic SF book.

Quote from Greboth :

Hmmm I don't know why but Pyramids (along with small gods and moving pictures) never really enjoyed compared to the others, still good books though. Would be interesting to hear your opininon on it.

I liked it, but yea, doesnt have the flare of say Mort but I love all of Pratchett's books. Going to borrow nation from my uncle when I get the chance.

Reading Ed Macy - Apache at the moment. Non-fiction about an ex-British Army Apache pilot, loving it...recommended read and I'm only quarter of the way through!

It´s not just a machine by Jeremy Clarkson.

So finster die Nacht (eng. Let the right one in) by John Ajvide Lindqvist, crazy book

The last book I was reading was Sun Tzu - The Art of War. Then I got distracted by other stuff and left it unfinished, that was some months ago.

I'm not a big reader but i'd like to read all the landmark classics at some point before I push up daisies.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I'm embarrassed to say I was well past halfway in the book when I noticed that the chapter numbers were all screwed up, and why. I had to go back and skim through all the chapters to put it all together.

I liked Matter even better, probably because I didn't feel so stupid while I was reading it.

I just got a load of new books (Well new to me) from the air ambulance charity shop.

The skellington's dialogue is hilarious, great book imo

Been a while since I read anything but the tv mag, I should really work on that, but reading Eragon almost made my eyes bleed -.-

"How to be rich" - Bernard Madoff

LOL!!

While Im eating my breakfast I occasionally read the jokes on the side of my Fruit Loops box. Good stuff.

Re-reading a lot of Iain Banks atm.

If you like seriously realised and deep Sci-Fi. give his work a shot. It can be a little difficult to get into the style depending on which book you start with, but it`s way more than worth the effort.

He also does some lovely quirky modern drama, and some seriously off-kilter fantasy too.

I just finished "Speed Secrets 6" by Ross Bentley.

Next I'm getting "Kill Bin Laden" by Dalton Fury. It's about the SFOD-D Operators searching for Bin Laden.

Quote from ColeusRattus :

Oh how I love the "Song of Fire and Ice" saga. The next part is also long overdue, I really can't wait for it to be released.

Oh yeah, ASoIaF (it's Ice and Fire, btw, not the other way around ) is absolutely brilliant. Definitely one of the greatest fantasy sagas of all time. There's going to be a TV series of A Games of Thrones. HBO are gonna do it so it should be good. It's all still in an early stage, though. It might not even make it past the pilot episode

Just completed: The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists. (4.5/5)

Now Reading: Learning jQuery 1.3 (2/5)
& Pathophysiology for the Health Professions, (Third Edition) (3.5/5)
& Mosby's Paramedic Textbook and Workbook Package (5/5)

Sounds great. And I just can't wrap my head around the true sequence of ice and fire

Just Finished Joe Abercrombies "First Law" trilogy, an awesome read. Before that, I read Pratchetts "Going Postal", and now, I'm reading "The Hobbit", again. Somehow, Old JRR Toliien just doesn't get old, no matter how often you've read the books.

Afterwards, I'll reread the "Neuromancer" Trilogy by William Gibson, to be followed by Frank Herbert's whole "Dune" cycle and "Otherland" by Tad Williams.
