Terry Pratchett - Carpe Jugulum; re-reading something I know I'll like

A dodgy book called "Thunder Run" by David Zucchino. It's about the American invasion of Iraq, concentrating on the "thunderrun" into Baghdad. Reading it for information rather than pleasure, it has been sitting on the shelf for the past 6 months - an unwanted gift. I find it annoying the way the killing in it is glorified. The author dedicates the book to his father who was a Vietnam vet and Korean vet.... thus the book is rather American biased.

Enjoying it so far. Roughly 2/3 through. Not as good as The Odyssey though.

Capt'n Midnight

Just finished the Day of the Triffids quite different from the film. So even if you didn't like the film it still worth a read for the whole "cold war" setting.

As I'm making my way through Tobias Buckell's forthcoming Crystal Rain, I just received another book that on my 2006 most wanted list, Daniel Abraham's A Shadow in Summer, the first book in The Long Price Quartet - really been looking forward to this seies.

GRRM had great thing to say about it from the blurbage:

"he tells their stories in an elegant style that reminded me by turns of Gene Wolfe, Jack Vance, and M. John Harrison"

-GRRM

He invoked MJH and Wolfe!

Huge expectations.

Freakin' rules. I love that novel.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

reading timothy hindley - headhunter.... pretty good, I find myself kind disagreeing with alot of his moral viewpoints but it's an interesting read and I'd be willing to believe that I'm misinterpreting stuff.

Just started Game of Thrones - GRR Martin, 1st book of Song of Ice and Fire - one of those books I've been meaning to read for ages.

Just finished Georgette Heyer's The Corinthian, delighted her books have been republished as I read many of them when I was in school but only ever managed to buy one or two.

Am reading Selected Works of Anton Chekhov, a Shakespeare Classics print

Evocative Russian short stories with at times obscure moral statements and ponderings. Very enjoyable so far

Just finished "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, and about to begin "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas.

Pandora's Star - Peter F Hamilton

Knife Of Dreams - Robert Jordan. It's much better then the last two books (finally action and some wars! I even spent a few late night on it

) but I'm seriously wondering if Robert Jordan is writing all of it because the style difference between some books seems odd......maybe it's just proper editorial control.

Looks like being a fantastic read. Great premise.

Love the Count of Monte Cristo - one of my favourite books ever. First time I read it I found it deadly boring for the first 150 pages or so but once you get past that it's unputdownable. I think in part it just took me a while to adjust to the older style English as well.
