What are you reading?

[Phoenix]

I have worked out part of the problem with my Unseen Academicals audiobook! ITunes seems to have grouped discs 1 and 4 into the same album (but not 2 and 3)... no wonder I get to a certain point and have no idea what's going on! Now I just have work on the staying awake while listening...

sooooooo i shouldn't listen to audio books when I drive huh?

Nah, I think it's just a me thing and I'm generally lying down in bed and supposed to be resting when I'm listening, so there's extra falling asleep potential.. My sister listens to Discworld books while driving and hasn't fallen asleep yet

Finished Child 44 today. Going to read Apocalypso next

I rate Apocalypso is one of the better ones.
Garden of unearthly delights is utter pants!

 

[Sjoerd3000]

So far it's pretty good

Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island.
I think he has a lovely turn of phrase, and his quirky pieces of history are a charm.

Tonight I finished The Wee Free Men. Been rereading alot of the DW books since logging on here. (My adult daughter left some of her books here when she moved houses this year). My 15 yr old teen is wanting to dip into DW and when I found it I thought maybe that one might be the one to start her off.... but this is the illustrated Wee Free Men. I think if I gave this one to her she would think I was talking down to her. Might hunt down one of the witches books or Lords and Ladies. It was interesting reading it though. Good and bad.

I liked the illustrated one, flicked through the whole thing in a bookshop. I can see how someone could think the book is less adult than it, though, from looking at the pictures. The Feegles don't look as grouchy as Kidby's designs.

After a China Mieville binge I am now re-reading Warren Ellis' rather wonderful Transmetropolitan series. Spider Jerusalem is a hero of mine.

^ Ahhh! Someone told me about that one recently and now I really want to read it...

Watchmen and the Sandman come first though...

I've read both Watchmen and the first few volumes of The Sandman. Much prefer Watchmen, though I do like Gaiman's work.

And Gaiman's writing for Doctor Who next year. Yaaayyy!

No point to this post. Just have to move it along since I am shaking my brains to mush every time I open this page and see Sjoerd's post about something or other. Men! sooooooooooooo.......
