Don't know what's next. So many choices.

It's a pity he is being proven so wrong.

Then again it was bound to happen.

We have been living in a Newtonian world for hundreds of years and he got most of it arse over tit as well.

Way too cool for mere mortals like me.

The thing is, the people who prove hime wrong will also be proven wrong it time. (Should that be space/time)

And the universe&#39;s cosmic ballet will go on.

Stunning&#33; :devil:
Oooh, the whole "Book of the New Sun" series is very rewarding. Keep going, there will be an "Urth of the New Sun" after that, and then if you want to follow those people who went from "Urth" to colonize other worlds there&#39;s the "Book of the Long Sun" series.

Wolfe is a genius.

I&#39;m reading "Not Without My Daughter" "Alvin Journeyman" "The Onion Girl" and a collection of short stories by Phillip K. Dick right now.

[J'Pol]

For some reason I have started reading Imajica by Clive Barker. I really don´t know why as for some stupid reason I have always assumed I wouldn´t like his writing.

I cannot explain it other than blind bigotry.

Anyway I have read the first 4 or 5 chapters and am enjoying it.

Just goes to show I suppose.

[Some_Geezer]

I&#39;m reading "The biggest Secret" By David Icke.....

I recommend it - not because it will change your life, but because its an insight into the mind of a complete lune...

[dingoBaby]

Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. I just finished Ender&#39;s Game last night.

[Curley]

Nothing at the moment... just finished Ulrikas Autobiography..... slapper in the first degree :rolleyes:

[TheNobleEU]

Just finished _U.S. Nuclear Weapons in Canada_ (during the Cold War).

I got a book shipment a while ago which included mostly history and fall of the former Soviet Union (ebay is great), and started a book on an Anthrax epidemic that occurred in a small Russian town due to a containment leak in a nearby bioweapons manufacturing plant (during the Cold War).

Tianup: tell us more about the Jennings stuff, where one would start to give it a shot.

Soopaman: Michael Moore is currently producing a documentary (announced shortly after he got the award for _Bowling for Columbine_) on the associations between the President Bush and bin Laden families (the Bushs are oil tycoons and apparently have a long history of exchange with various Middle Eastern aristocracies&#33;) I&#39;ll have to search for a copy on soulseek/kazaa.

Cheers,

[Skweeky]

Minority Report - Philip K. Dick

Just finished &#39;the fifth elefant&#39; from Terry Pratchett and &#39;Prince of the Blood&#39; from Raymond E. Feist. :)

So, are you turning into a witch/headologist mouse?




Hey, since you like rodents, start reading "The amazing Maurice and his educated rodents" also by Pratchett... Mainly about rats: that&#39;ll change your view on them&#33; ;)

[Got_brains?]

I am reading this forum. :P

[aeo]

Has anyone ever read books by Steven Erikson?

These books have sucked me in big time, best writer in the Fantasy genre for a long long time. His books so far

Gardens of the Moon
Deadhouse Gates
Memories of Ice
House of Chains

All i need now is Macfarlane to pick up the figure licence and my world is complete :D

[Guillaume]

"The last hero" by Terry Pratchett, a graphic novel ( = short story with good pictures by P Kidby ) starring Cohen the Barbarian, Rincewind and Carrot Ironfounderson... It just lacks some witches (it would have been an all-stars book&#33;)

[N£MO]

Have just finished reading my copy of The Sun. :D

[ilw]

Reading &#39;Altered Carbon&#39;, its good IMO. Worth reading for any sci-fi fans

[iamtheoneandonlyone]

(translated to dutch)

[soopaman]

At the moment I&#39;m reading "THE SUBTLE KNIFE" by Philip Pullman. It&#39;s bloody great&#33;&#33; It&#39;s the second part of the HIS DARK MATERIALS trilogy. I finished the first part in about 4 days, and that was mostly on the way to and from work, I could hardly bear to put it down. It&#39;s been a long time since I read books that are good as these. I think they&#39;re probably the best fantasy type books I&#39;ve ever read, although I&#39;m sure there&#39;ll be arguments over this. :lol:

It pisses on "Potter" from a great height&#33;&#33; :lol: :P :lol:

No because study guides teach me stuff that is usefull...

other books just prove how useless reading is...

I think he wants the "Books being read" on the thread.

How about starting a new thread if you wish to discuss one?

I&#39;m currently reading "The Reality Dysfunction" by Peter F. Hamilton, and it&#39;s chuffing amazing. It&#39;s also about 1200 pages long. 1000 to go, and a week off. Should work out nicely.

I borrowed that book from library couple of years ago. Had to buy the sequels because I didn&#39;t want to wait for the library to order them for me... (that could have taken weeks at worst...) Highly recommended EPIC space opera for all sf fans)

[Cheese]

Cannery Row - John Steinbeck

[geprobert]

&#39;Microserfs&#39; by Douglas Coupland, for the 2nd time.

It&#39;s interesting because I first read it years ago before I became a &#39;computer nerd&#39; myself, and before my brother moved over to USA and worked for a failing (and now failed) .com company.

Since then I have visited him in SF, it being my first time in that part of the world... and it changes the way I read the book totally. It also makes Office Space more amusing - for me, that is... for my brother it is all too close to home&#33;

[Smooch]
