I've never read any of his writing, but I've seen Wodehouse referenced a whole lot so I'm curious. The reviews of the book on Amazon make it sound pretty hilarious. What's your latest purchase(s)? |

I expect it to be absolutely brilliant after reading Warlock which is the book before this one (this is part 3 of the series but i forget what the first book is called, iv never read it!)Also reading on and off, but off at the moment - "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins which is pretty good as there are a lot of things to think about in there, for and against religion. I always find this an interesting topic, once i finish this book il probably buy more. "Who Built the Moon" Is another odd book im kind of reading, although i got side tracked with another book and have had trouble going back. This one my dad bought, which basically gives quite a logical suggestion that the earths Moon may be artificial, as the mathematics of it are far to precise to be accidental, it doesn't get a mention in any ancient astrology, and many other reasons which fill the pages convincing you the moon is a farce. When reading it i think to myself "If there was ever hard proof, these guys would get a nobel prize for being there first" Lastly, im constantly rereading The Dark Tower Series, at the moment im reading Wolves of the Calla, but again im side tracked by Quest! I imagine i will read Quest, Finish The God Delusion, wrap up Who Built the Moon and then finish up WOTC and continue with the DT until another tangent arises. |

I also use a book-swapping website (RISI) which is great for getting free books (though of course you have to pay postage). I'm on a bit of a science fiction tip at the moment & most of my recently acquired pile reflects this.Mainly have started to collect the Aliens & Predator novel series & have managed to pick up some omnibus editions for free (swaps) or cheap off ebay or amazon. Full list of recently acquired books.. Aliens v Predator Omnibus Vol 1 (Prey & Hunters Planet) Aliens Omnibus Vol 1 ( Earth Hive & Nightmare Asylum) Aliens Omnibus Vol 2 (The Female War & Genocide) Aliens Omnibus Vol 3 (Alien Harvest & Rogue) Beautiful Monsters: The Unofficial and Unauthorized Guide to the Alien and Predator Movies by David McIntree Newton's Wake & The Cassini Division both by Ken MacLeod Gridlinked by Neal Asher Peace Kills by P.J. O'Rourke Crossfire by Andy McNab Just got to find time to read them now! |
