What are you reading now?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Gawd, you look like you're one of those drunk old guys that's always on COPS.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Why does Gawdzilla always look like a drunk wizard?

[Dasein]

He certainly does shine with some sort of inner light. a bit like Manson, or a drunk wizard, I guess.

I'm reading Atonement and it is much better than I was expecting.

[JimC]

I'm reading "Animals make us human" by Temple Grandin.

Very interesting, and the section on cats certainly rings true from my experience...

[Existentialist1844]

Currently, I'm not reading anything. But these are some books I will be reading by next week for school.









Fun, huh?

The Murder of Nikolai Vavilov by Peter Pringle

[Sisifo]

[Cormac]

Stainless Steel Rat Omnibus - Harry Harrison (for old time's sake)
The World According to Clarkson Volume 3 - Jeremy Clarkson (cos I like the way he thinks and rants)
Moab is my Washpot - Stephen Fry (Just finished this, and I now like Stephen Fry a hell of a lot more)
World War 2 Behind Closed Doors - Laurence Reece

Oh, and a book about the cultural barriers inherent in setting up virtual teams with some based in the "West" comprised of "Western" staff and some based in India, comprised of Indian staff members.

Whenever I read any of his books I am struck by how good a writer he is but by how little I care. That sounds dismissive, I know, but I do not mean it to be, I've read Saturday three or four times because it strikes a chord with me but I've never been able to decide what key that chord is in.

Now that book I fucking adore. one of the least "action packed" of his books but still one of the most nail biting. I've bought it about three or four times but have always given it to others never to be seen again. Banks is my favourite living writer and such a fucking gamer, there was one book (non sci-fi) where he described a game so well I could have sworn I played it. Something about using a nuclear blast to fly above an otherwise insurmountable mountain range, I really wanted a go at that.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

A manual on how to work on something that doesn't exist. No problem, actually, the manual doesn't exist either.

[owtth]

Well then I can never be wrong, therefore I am perfect. It's all going swimmingly.
There's a word that's not used often enough.
