Eddie Cambell. Great series

 

[michelanCello]

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain

 

[Sjoerd3000]

Just finished the Amazing Maurice for the first time. Not bad, liked Sardines

 

[The Mad Collector]

Thomas Mann - The Magic Mountain

Good luck, I found that pretty tough going

I'm reading Richard Feynman - Not so Easy Pieces, a series of transcripts of lectures he gave on relativity and particle physics.

Have read 2 books by Markus Heitz;

"TheDwarves"

"The war of the Dwarves"

Not to bad but I much prefer Mr Prachetts Dwarves.

Also like to read Azimovs' 'Foundation' series'. I have been reading his stories for over 40 years and still consider them to be some of the best SI FI ever writen.

Finished A dance with dragons (the fifth book in Ice and Fire series) whilst on holiday. Has been such a long time since I read the preceding books so I had forgotten some of the characters (not the leading characters though). Still a very good read
I wonder how long it'll be until the next book is ready....

 

[chuffed]

Not long finished struggling through the Dragon Lance trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman... loved them when I was younger, not so much now!
So just started Harry potter 1st book again for a bit of fun

"The war of the Dwarves"

I really liked those! Never got to read part 3 and 4, but I intend to... some day...

Trying to read Atlas Shrugges by Ayn Rand. I am trying to enjoy it but finding it's like walking through treacle!

 

[Kin Arad]

I have just finished reading 'the other hand' by Chris Cleave. It was a great book, although very shocking and sad at parts - it made you think.

 

[The Mad Collector]

Now started Just My Type, it's a history of the development of fonts, really interesting

 

[Antiq]

Mediocre is a bit Harsh. He has a straight forward style . Simple but effective.

Ok, maybe a bit harsh.....he's a good storyteller. The book reads very much like a good screenplay, which I think is his forte anyway. I have a feeling the guy is a huge nerd (in a good way, I love nerds). I mean - George RR Martin? C'mon

 

[pip]

Very True

 

[Penfold]

I've just started reading Doctor Who: The Coming of the Terraphiles by Michael Moorcock.

I started reading it, but couldn't really get into it. Might start again some time.

I really wouldn't waste your time with it Q. I really didn't enjoy it and found it a struggle to finish, which really surprised me since Michael Moorcock is one of my favourite writers.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

He is one of mine as well Penners, I had a perusal of it today in Waterstones and though maybe, but I will see if it is in the Library if so I will read a couple of chapters to see if I think it is worth buying.

 

[SpideyGirl]

Just finished The Eyre Affair Some good ideas in it...does anyone know if the others are any good?

 

[Tonyblack]

Just finished The Eyre Affair Some good ideas in it...does anyone know if the others are any good?

It's well worth reading them all, but it becomes more of a series after the first one and therefore some of the ideas are spread out.

I think it's a marvellous series.

 

[pip]

I'm currently reading the third one spidey, the well of lost plots . The series is great as is the spinoff from. But i prefer the seperate book Shades of Grey

 

[SpideyGirl]

Cheers guys, will part with the pennies and get the next one
