    what!...you are going to start the trilogy again!>?!...are you mad?...those books take ages to read, do you not think that after a chapter or two of the Naked God you would be back in the swing of things?

    I didn't read them 1, 2, 3, well I did, but plus other books in between and it was still fresh in the brain.

    I'll love to be reading them again though, brialliant stuff.

    Hey there,

    I haven't finished it yet!! I haven't seen the 3rd one, The Naked God, around in the shops. I'll have a proper look round for it at the weekend, but I'm going to have to read them from the start again, I like to read trilogys 1,2,3 without breaks.

    Also I'm doing my usual thing of reading 14 at the same time; this Crichton one is great, also reading back through my Iain M. Banks archive - Use of Weapons currently, (just done Consider Phlebas). I'm about 1/4 way into 1984 again too, I love that book.

    Boss- I like to read books in the proper order, they're more enjoyable like that. It doesn't take as long the second time either, maybe a week for the 2 of them.

    Man - Yeah, read A Philosophical Investigation, very enjoyable read, recommended. Very different though compared to this series.

    As far as I know I haven't read any of his other stuff, but I almost bought one on Sunday and I'm half regretting buying "TimeLine", I hope that it suprises me somewhere along the (time)line.

    I'm not too keen on this medieval sci fi...I'll give my full opinion when I'm actually finished

    Well, I commute more than 2 hours a day, factor in another 1-2 hours reading in bed = 5-6 hours per weekday, then more at the weekend, say 36 hours *roughly*.

    At a page a minute, that's 2160 pages, more than the 2 books are.

    I don't get out much.
