I will of course. Since he moved back to Dublin from Maine you tend to see him around. Himself and John Boyne hang around my favourite bookshop from time to time. Actually have a signed first edition of Nocturnes and a few of his other books

Double gasp!! Right, I need to lie down 'til I can breathe properly again.

Started Some Stephen Donaldson but drifted into plot Heaviness... and gave up.

Oh gawd ! Not The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant ?

I struggled through the whole lot of 'em out of sheer bloody mindedness to see where it went and how it ended up. Even when I'd finished them all (and was dissapointed with it's conclusion), the set sitting on my book shelf annoyed me and I finished up taking the lot down to one of them book swapping stalls and giving them away.

Another series I started doing that with was Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. Gave up 4 or 5 books in out of frustration.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

That one was good, and Open Sesame is another.

long time since since I've read them.

Ayup Jaeger...

Yep. Not the first and second Chronicles. They're fine. I'm a Great, Great Fan of those, but the 'Last'... ewww. The very Opposite of DW, IMO. I appreciate that there are differing degrees of Fantasy, But those Dustbin sized volumes shouldn't have been written. As far as I'm concerned, When a story has ended, its ended. It's like making 'Jaws 27' because a studio STILL thinks Big rubber sharks sell Cinema tickets...

Thank Terry for Granny, Nanny, and Rincewind...

In an effort to clear the decks before Snuff arrives next week, I'm reading Hogfather in preparation for the next discussion.

long time since since I've read them.

Just went to get the Kindle out of the bag to download Open Sesame, and realised that Kindle is in fact sitting on my bed!

 

[meerkat]

That doesn't happen with a book, Bouncy!

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Loads of books on perspective, immersion and illusion...Yeah, it's essay time already

 

[meerkat]

Just finished the Distant Hours! Excellent book! It only cost me £2 in a discount book shop in York!

Re-reading 'Heresy' again and probably 'Prophecy' by SJ Parris, then it'll be Pratchett time! Roll on 13th!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Doctor Who: The Coming of the Terraphiles by Michael Moorcock on Audio, the only reason I downloaded this is it had Cornealius in it and seem to be connected to Ether books/Eternal Champion series.

 

[Antiq]

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini. Liking it.

 

[Penfold]

Doctor Who: The Coming of the Terraphiles by Michael Moorcock on Audio, the only reason I downloaded this is it had Cornealius in it and seem to be connected to Ether books/Eternal Champion series.

That was why I bought it as well (paperback). Good luck with it and I hope you find it more enjoyable than I did.

 

[WannabeAngua]

State of fear by Michael Crichton. More of a time filler than a good read really.

It was not that good but the audio book you rely on the narrator and his skill of story telling, with the book it's in your head, 1st Dr Who I have read and I think the last but I do like the TV shows.

Just downloaded Jim Butcher's 3rd Harry Dresden book "Grave Peril" in Audio read by (Spike) Jim Masters he is really good I will start it tomorrow.
