My favourite books this year have been 'Travels With Charlie' (John Steinbeck) and 'Under the Greenwood Tree' (Thomas Hardy). I also gobbled up a huge helping of sticky, sugary, trashy Stephenie Meyer.

I just re-read Hammer of the Gods about Led Zeppelin

I'm reading Fight Club. I love the film so much i had to see how much more detail was in the novel. There is a bit, but the film is still perfect in it;s own medium.

I'm reading the Bible. It's kind of slow in parts, but not a bad read.

My new Genesis book

toiling my way through Clive Barker's "Imajica".love Clive Barker, but these days when I have a few minutes to read, I fall asleep partway through a chapter so it's tedious!!

Oh MY! Imajica is one of my all-time favorite books! Stick with it and try to read it when you are not feeling sleepy. It is well with it. I adore Barker.I have been anxiously awaiting the next book of Abarat.

Not currently reading a book, but reread the Douglas Adams Hitchhiker series this summer. :-] A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. Douglas Adams

Love Hitchhiker's

A recipe for singapore noodles. Too bad I don't have any fresh coriander.

Douglas Adams was clever enough and cool enough not to care if people didn't 'get' him. Unfortunately his canon has been extended by Eion Colfer whose 'hairy fairy' children's books are fun, but he's no Douglas Adams.

If you like Douglas Adams i would highly recommend Terry Prachett. He does for the fantasy genre what Adams does for sci-fi only more. And he is far more prolific.

Mmmm, I find Terry a bit formulaic. He is fun but reading a lot of him is like eating too many crisps.

I loved Fight Club though.

Well, i obviously disagree, but that's alright. In Fact Pratchett is my favorite writer and i think he is much deeper than you give him credit for. What have you read?

The only Pratchett book I've ever read was called Good Omens. I have to say I really enjoyed it, enough so that I've read it twice.

Now Detritus the troll is one of my favourite Pratchett characters. I'm thinking of having one of his helmets which cools my brain down and makes me more intelligent. As if!

Some really informative blogs lately. A joke: What do imperial regimes and capitalist systems do when they?re sinking into dung-tar, taffy pits of their own excesses? They go to war!!! get it?

Good Omens was actually written in concert with Neil Gaiman and is one of my all time Favorite books. Got me started on both authors.
