My last Three book :
The Incident with the Dog in the Nightime *** Great Read

Arthur C. Clarke/Stephen Baxter - Time's eye.
i'm currently reading "Shrike" by Joe donnelly

there's been some great writing by Bob Gale so far, including some classic, 'who's that bat-like figure in the shadows?' moments
Market Forces by Richard Morgan.
It combines a Player Piano-type dystopia with roadwarrior-type driving. So far it's fairly interesting.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Again. I don't know how many times I've read it now. ;)
:shuriken:
I'm reading James Glass' Empress of light. After his first book 'Shanji. A good fantasy. I can't wait to get my hands on his third book 'Creator' that is just out.
As usual, I'm about a year behind the times...

Killer Instimct by Zoe Sharpe
Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter "Sunstorm"
I'll read the "Hitchhiker's guide" series afterwards.
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. I took it away on the weekend and couldn't put it down.
Altho' more fantastical, I found it a better read than The Da Vinci Code.
Just finished Bill Bryson - A Short History of Nearly Everything.
Just Started Ben Elton - Popcorn.
Got it in the Oxfam Bookshop in Glasgow and I quite liked Stark and Gridlock (I think it was called) so I thought I would give it a bash.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Jsut finsihed D.H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, EM Forsters ASpects of a Novel, and im kinda reading this poker book
Today, after a 2 year wait, one of my lecturers finally remembered to return my copy of Do androids dream of electric sheep? by Philip K Dick.
Thats the last time he gets a lend of any of my books... :dry:
So that's what I'm reading now...
Damn, my sister had that when I went to see her this past weekend and I forgot to steal it. I have wanted to read that for a few years now...Quote:

Yeah, it's definitely worth snagging when your sister's back is turned.Quote:

My g/f went to the library today, and for some reason she thought I'd like to read Evil genius by Catherine Jinks.
So that's next on my reading list.Quote:

Just finished Deception Point By Dan Brown.
Another book of his that is almost impossible to put down. I found this one more predictable than the last two of his I read, still a damn good read tho'.
Next on the agenda is Digital Fortress, the last book of his that I own. Unfortunately I have to wait until the missus finishes it :dry:
I'm reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson... for the third time. Great book!
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. Again. ;)
:shuriken:
How Few Remain By Turtledove, and Hearts In Atlantis by King.
Notes from a Big Coutry - Bill Bryson again.
On the strength of the previous and a liking for the writing style. So far I have laughed out loud a couple of times, which is rare for me / books.
I may post some select sentences here, or there. For your laughical a mews meant.
Night Watch Terry Pratchett....nice light bedtime reading...
At the moment, apart from reading this forum, I am currently reading...
'Implementing the EFQM excellence model in a local Authority' by George, Cooper and Douglas...
:sick:
Im currently reading 'The Da Vinci Code' too,Quote:

As you might know, the movie is under way, so I thought it would be
interesting reading a book before its turned into amovie.
...I was going to ask something next,
but just asking would be out of topic. :) .
right now.... The Color Purple
Had he written a novel with the same title before. That could cause confusion.Quote:

Just finished Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Very similar to his other books, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
The Old Man And The Sea - Ernest Hemingway
