I'm figuring if I'm going to be a superhero who battles world crime, I'd better do some reserch. therefor I am now reading The Dogs In Riga by Henning Mankel. would have read it in swedish, but my mom on had it in norwegian. not worht the hassle to get it in it's original language then.

Just finished Song of Kali by Dan Simmons. Enjoyed the book, BUT (despite the overuse of 'chilling', 'most frightening'& 'terrifying' in the blurbs on the back) I was about as frightening to me as one of the more dull episodes of the Smurfs I watched as a little Duiker.

@Brood .I agree on "Iron Council". Another reading in a couple of years, perhaps!

@Rane/ i agree CC is the best Al R book ( apart from Diamond Dogs novella ).
Just finished "Godd Omens" Neil Gaiman and ahem TP. Very Good. Reading a few more Gaiman short stories, and considering the next saga to tackle...after "Light Ages" will speculativbe fiction ever be the same.
Where did the other Reading site go ?

@First. What like "the Hominid" trilogy ? Maybe. Baxters short story collection "Vacuum Diagrams" is far more palatable.

Spent £70 quid on books yesterday, including Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but Waterstones were doing 3 for 2, so got "Love all the people", a collection Bill Hicks routines, and I'm reading that now. Very intelligent bloke

Hmm, well this is the first of Rushdie's books I've got around to trying so I'll get to the rest of his work later...still, one can admire his mastery in this work without a shadow of a doubt, his command of the language glares througout the elegantly flowing lyricism of the writing...beautiful, just beautiful.

@Pale. Mine is copy 226. Did you get your copy of Postscripts?
@Mort. I'm not very far through the book yet but am really enjoying it. I agree Sharrow is way cool. Hmmm, maybe I'll change my name. Or maybe not.
