Hey, Chris PH, if your mate has the whole Baen library as an ebook, try the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

Not at all. Deadly! is a completely different story. It's about strange goings-on at a nudist colony. One of the characters is a teenaged boy (he later adopts the name of 'Sprocket') who wakes up naked in said nudist colony, only to have a child (acting in a very adult manner) sift through his crap. And the other character, Amy, is concerned that her father, a plant geneticist, is having an affair and about to cause her mother no end of trouble. Unfortunately, Amy can't figure out why there seems to be a makeshift lab in the love nest she tracks her father down to, and when she gets back home, she finds what she thinks is her father's love child. In fact, she is wrong. Let's just say that she ends up at the nudist colony, meets 'Sprocket', and they find out that the people there are obsessed with finding a plant seed Sprocket stole, a plant that makes a very special tea...

A vampire book that I downloaded onto the Kindle when I was off sick and had nothing to read.

7 James Patterson Women's Murder Club books to re-read.

Just acquired the first five (special offer on Amazon for all of them) Skulduggery Pleasant books. Apparently, they're for young adults, but are good for old adults too!!

(I'm in the second category!!).

Just finished the book I got from my secret Hogfather, Jasper Ffordes The Last Dragonslayer. I enjoyed it so much I'll have to get the sequel

Just started reading The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum.

I got The last Dragon Slayer and The Song of the Quark Beast for the better half for Christmas. Glad to hear at least the first part is good

I'm reading Conqueror by Conn Iggulden. 300 pages in and good so far

Met up with some internet buddies for pizza and gossip last night, so picked up East of Ealing (Rankin) from my shopping bag and read that on the train home and in bed later.

Knackered. I can't be doing with this high life anymore. Bed by 9.15? I'm usually under the covers by 6.05!!

 

[Quatermass]

I've just read the fourth volume of Transmetropolitan, along with Isaac Asimov's adaptation of Fantastic Voyage.

 

[Quatermass]

And for an encore, I have just finished Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. You may now applaud.

Wonderful Sheldon moment

Now, now, don't get too enthusiastic, Severus...

And for an encore, I have just finished Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens. You may now applaud.

Wonderful Sheldon moment

Hey, excuse me, I actually restarted that book on Monday, and finished it on Friday night. I actually read it within a week. The damn thing was over 800 pages, most of which I read in one night. I doubt that even Sheldon could do that. In fact, I don't think he would even bother in the first place.

Oh, and Happy Saturnalia, everyone!

A lot of fantasy fans praise him highly, so despite my indifference towards epic fantasy in recent years I've decided to give Brandon Sanderson a try. I've started with volume one of the Mistborn trilogy, The Final Empire.
