Ah, Phaedrus.......

Must be 10 years since I read that. I can see it on the top shelf of the bookcase right now. Must give it another whirl when I get time.

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you never mention Game of Thrones - Season 3 before it comes out on TV, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you do, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Dipping between 'We need to talk about Alan' (Alan Partridge) and 'I Shall Wear Midnight' (Terry Pratchett)

Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. Believable sci-fi at its very best.:cool:

don ramo

pappyodaniel

Eddie O'Sullivan's autobiography.

Dangerous Man

'The Victim,' by Saul Bellow. Who is a Jew, by the way.

serjical_strike

A feast for crows - George R.R Martin.

Colmustard

The Holographic universe.

A pseuoscience book but some interesting theories and interpretations of the nature of the universe. Parts of it are mind blowing and parts of it are a bit fantastical.

But it does demonstrate that this is not a sticks and stones universe and as to the universes nature we will never fully understand it.

In general I am enjoying it,

Berlin by Antony Beevor

Just like his previous Staligrad - a great read. I don't know much about military terminology, so information about regiments, battalions, divisions and so on can be a bit confusing, but he manages to impart the huge scale of the opperations while also letting in some of the humanity. I'm half-way through this one and it seems to be really good. I'd reccommend Staingrad to anyone.

Barna77

A Clash of Kings

Listening to the "Steve Jobs" bio because I got it for free from Amazon/Audible. My first audio book. Like business bios and this one is full of juicy trivia about his early life,

Just finished "She's never coming back" by Hans Koppel.

Absolutely gripping - not for the faint hearted however!!!

Pegasus Descending, by James Lee Burke. It took me a while to realise I had read it before, but that won't stop me. You can almost smell Louisiana.

Was reading Last Snow by Eric Van Lustbader but had to give up on it at page 167, just couldn't take the tedium any longer, which is a real shame because I've read and loved nearly all his earlier novels(The Ninja, White Ninja, The Miko etc etc...). Me and Eric seem to have parted ways a good many moons ago.

Was mind blowing...

Just started Chrintine Falls - Benjamin Black (John Banville) having read a death in the summer and enjoyed it, I've bought the others in the Doctor Quirke series. Excellent reads.

Foundation's Edge, by Isaac Asimov. The fourth in the Foundation Series, written almost thirty years after the original series was finished, and the sixth in the chronology (including Asimov's two prequels). I've been reading them all in that order, on and off all year so far.

New Karin Slaughter - Criminal

Is it good? I love Karin Slaughter's stuff.

I'm currently reading Hornet's Nest by Patricia Cornwell. I needed a break between the two Terry Pratchett books I read coz I feel you have to be extremely engaged in his books! I bought the next two in his collection today with a voucher I had and I look forward to getting into them.

I managed to get a good few second hand books for free recently. I need to tidy up my room for them so I look forward to putting the iPod on the dock, turning the volume up high and reorganizing my bookshelf!

Biography of the last Pope! tbh I'm online more often at night than reading, used to read a way more before we got that dam wireless broadband:rolleyes:
