Looking forward to reading both, for very different reasons;)

Hey, what happens in the adult version? :heyhey: :)
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

The Inferior by Peadar O Guilin. Guy Haley was raving about it in Death Ray magazine and it's easy to see why. A very strong - although not flawless - first novel.

The last books I bought were:

The Jennifer Morgue by Charles Stross (it's a sequel - of sorts - to The Atrocity Archives...a book which I probably haven't recommended enough..)

World War Z by Joe Brooks (a thematic sequel to his Zombie Survival Guide - which is also very good)

The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall (which has been getting a lot of good press recently...we'll see in about a week's time if it's in any way deserved)
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. Bertrand Russell

I gave in to curiosity and bought "THE SANDWORMS OF DUNE" by two authors who don't deserve to be named. I just want to know how it all ends. Finally.

Just sayin'

The Lies of Locke Lamora---Scott Lynch--- About 20 pages in and its very entertaining already. The dialogue makes me laugh in a good way.

To throw in my opinion on Cooks Instrumentalities of the Night series, i have read the first 2 and i find it very mediocre. Not sure if ill get the next book when it is released.

James Barclay's Cry of the Newborn. Above average and entertaining, but highly flawed. About halfway through, so it could get a lot better.

Also picked up Steph Swainston's The Year of Our War and Robert Harris' Imperium.
