Just finished 'brasyl' by Ian McDonald - very odd and dark with lots of Quantum stuff in it.
Am currently reading 'Selling Out' by Justina Robson wich is also odd and sort of quantumish but not (it's called aether in this one), with elves and demons and humans and elementals and Others in it, and dark bits but loads of humour, so easier to read. I do prefer dark deeds to be laced with humour!
Both fiction, btw, and both well worth reading, though I found 'brasyl' quite confusing until I got into it about a quarter of the way through.

Finished Dark Side of the Moon (a struggle), and have just started Strata (looks more promising).
I struggled with Dark Side, as I found there were too many different species, with dodgy pronouciations, and too much description of planets, and space travel.
I'm glad Strata has come back (well, as far as I've got!!) to land....... and it's a very flat, discular sort of land!
And now I at least know why the tavern is called the Broken Drum.

I am now about three-quarters of the way through 'The Eyre Affair' (Jasper Fforde) after reading several recommendations from other members. I am not going to whinge, however, about the fact that money earmarked for other stuff is now going to be spent on buying the rest of the series. Great stuff and really enjoying it.
