Take good care to keep relations civil
It's decent in the first of gentlemen
To speak friendly, Even to the devil

@Fist - If it was the same devil as visited The Widow (see Great Song Lyrics thread) I'll be very pissed off to have missed him!

@lorn - so that's about half the book by memory... Bros K is my favourite Dostoyevsky, perhaps because of the whole god. devil, atheism thing
So, I went shopping yeasterday, seeing as I had finished the Memory Sorrow and Thorn re-read (which was a little disappointing in the end)
I bought:
Cities Anthology (VG version, but with all the stories in it)
Vernon God Little
Paths of the Dead (Steven Brust - seriously good stuff)
Richard Morgan's latest (Market Forces) - it must have oNly just comeout here...

Just finished yet another re-read of Altered Carbon. Damn that book rocks!
Now onto a re-read of James Masters' Man of War. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in the wars of the first half of the last century. As well as to anyone who is interested in getting into the mindset of a real soldier (when I was in the Army, Bill Miller (main character) was the kind of officer and soldier that I aspired to be), regardless of the modern era - there have always been soldiers like this
Aww hell, read it even if you don't qualify for either of those categories

@Rodeo. Darwinia is an odd gem. Sh1t ending tho'.
@ All. If you like 2000AD related stuff, try this official BBC site to download full "Strontium Dog" Audio tales. With the actor from "Spaced" Simon Pegg.
http://www.bbc.co.uk...dio/index.shtml
Also try the first Rogue Trooper story .Online. Here :

Still reading "Iron Council"...the large portions of "info dump" are dragging. Shame.

Finished the first Prince of Nothing.
Top-notch. Cant wait for the second one, which comes out in jan here.
Now reading The Demon Lover by Robin Morgan, because Richard Morgan (any relation?) mentions it in Broken Angels.
And its turning out to be pretty
so far...

I was planning to start that a while ago but the prolouge was so damn bad I left it for something else. I will go back to it sometime, but I'm hoping that that was just a weak moment and the actual book is as good as the first two.
Well, I won all three books in an Alien Online erm, thingie. But I don't think the third is bad, at least not up to where I'm at (page 58).
