h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yeah, right on Johanna... Completely agree...


Just finished reading The Meaning of Life - by P.j. McAuley - I'm not sure why I bothered, I mean we all know the answer is 42.. It was actually pretty good, about a lifeform from Mars called the Chi, which borrrowed stuff from all organisms it came into contact with... Not sure what the ending was though (OK it wasn't just finished - it was two books ago...), Oh No I think I remember....

Then I read something by John Meaney, that wasn't Paradox, or the other one, but the first one, I think... 'ang on... To Hold Infinity - which was really good, kind of a detective novel, without a real detective....

Just coming to the end of Murder in Lamut By Reaymond E. Feist, and Joel Rosenberg- where the murder doesn't happen 'til the last 50 pages, and the investigation is wrapped up really quickly...

Mind you it has been quite an enjoyable read...

sounds like a bit of an odd book

which one?

murder in lamut

I've just finished reading Dave Gorman's Googlewhack adventure - after buying it at a book signing.

I'm currently looking for my own googlewhacks - so far I've found one:

Which won't be anymore, now that you've posted it... I came up with "Zho Gravitates" and posted it elsewhere and now its not...

I have just (on the train this morning) finished reading the second of my recent book orders ( I only ordered about 50...) Recursion, by Tony Ballantyne - nice Title says a lot about it - three "independent" story arcs brought together nicely to make a whole...

Previous to that - Bikini Planet by Dave Garnett (?) - about Bikini's and planet's, but not so many Bikini's (or Planets come to think about it)... actually story of a Las Vegan frozen for 300 years and his daft (but not very funny) adventures after he is revived.

Before that: Runes of the Earth - the last chronicles of Thomas Covenant, by Stephen Donaldson.. Good but (as usual) a bit wordy - not that it was too long - just that He never uses a "normal" word when an obscure one will do just as well...

And before that... Can't remember atm...

But next one is going to be Exultant by Stephen Baxter.

Dean Koontz "From the Corner of his eye" is a brilliant book, and besides a little bit of killing, which I don't really like, it opens up your mind to different dimensions, and new ways of thinking, but it keeps you on your toes. I have a list of people wanting to borrow it. I really like supernatural, thrillers and love stories, if anyone has any suggestions of really good books, it would be greatly appreciated. I always look forward to going to bed, because that is my reading time, after the computer and h2.
