PPS - Do you all really buy that many books regularly?
Yes, and more. Of course, since I own the bookstore, it's not so bad. It also helps that I get advance copies for free from the publishers on occasion.

Alan Moore's brain should be fermented and used to make little smiley face scratch-and-sniff stickers which are then distributed to teens in malls.

It's actually the book I bought (and read dammit!) yesterday.
Iron Sunrise by Charles Stross which is interesting but a little hyperbolic (As you would probably expect with a book that starts with someone sterilising a solar system)
I also bought Cebtury Rain by Alastair Reynolds I've read a hundred or so pages and it's shaping up to be something strange and interesting...
I would have bought Woken Furies by Richard Morgan, but copies of this appear to be as rare as hen's teeth in the bookshops of central Manchester.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

" This masterful recreation of The Goddoddin, the earliest surviving North British epic poem, recounts the story of 300 men, the Companions, and their heroic, but futile, stand against the Saxons at Catraeth. Ron Keith’s brilliant rendition of Prosper, shieldbearer and narrator, brings Sutcliff’s compelling tale of valor, betrayal and defeat to glorious life. His unhurried pacing vividly demonstrates the sweep of historical drama making this complex story of boys, men and war accessible to a broad range of readers."

Yeah, that series was not that great. His Otherland series is a far, far superior effort
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

After I finish System of the World, I'm going to read one of the copies of Terry Pratchett's GOING POSTAL. Just showed up today and all my copies are signed. I love that.

I'll let you know via review elsewhere once i've read it. I'm told repeatedly that the tpb is brilliant when read as a whole.
