reading 'The Bible (& Olt Testament) according 2 Spike Milligan' & am about to read 'Night Watch' by Terry Pratchett - signd copy my fiance gav me 4 my bday (awww)

oops, Olt shud read Old, sorry!

omy

just finished Nightwatch, brilliant book, on to Patrica Cornwall's Portrait of a Killer, about Jack the Ripper (think I prefer From Hell)

Almost finished The Subtle Knife, then it will be The Amber Spyglass - both by Philip Pullman. So far pretty good, I would recomend it (the whole series) to people who enjoy childrens fantasy, based on what I have read so far.

Math

just finished Lasher Anne Rice book 2 of a trilogy, havent got the third so have started Vittorio which is also an anne rice. and am reading a book of ancient wisdom which is basically about magic

Hemmingway's Chair by Michael Palin

"Time Travel in Einsteins' Universe" by J Richard Gott. Its an entertaining and interesting book which isn't too academically dry, and makes it very accessable without 'dumbing down'.

Finished Snow Crash, and now I'm embarking on a re-read of Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, which should keep me busy for a few weeks!

Still plodding through 'Snow Crash'... I'm into it enough to want to finish it (in my own good time ) but I can't say that I would rush to pick up another Stephenson.

Also still at the McNally book as I never sit down long enough to read anything at home. Hopefully I'll have them both finished by month's end (must clean house - houseguests arriving in 7 days ).

Second 'His Dark Materials' book on deck, along with a Star Trek, a Caleb Carr, and a mystery I picked up at the second hand store that looked interesting.

Diamond Age is a better book by far by Stephenson, but i still think Snow Crash has it's moments...

I'm finished the Moonstone (at last! ) and am now racing through Tim Moore's hysterical 'French Revolutions' - the man is as mad as a box of rats...

Just finished 'So long, and thanks for all the fish'. Therefore, just started 'Mostly Harmless'.

Mort by Terry Pratchett

Very good so far, and I'm almost finished (at least 3/4 way through)

Can't wait to read Soul Music later on

2 very good discworld books (as they all r!)

omy

"The Day of the Triffids" by John Wyndham - an annual favourite

Finished Night Watch...rereading The Truth by Mr T. P.

Vile Bodies got side lined by the fact that I left it in the office so I bought what has been one of the best books I've read this year ... "I, Lucifer" by Glen Duncan ... you've just got to read it - it's an absolute cracker!

finished vittorio the vampire, just started Stupid white men by michael moore. v funny

Judith Briles MD ~~The Toxic Workplace~~~ *nursing profession*

"Tunnel visions" by Christopher Ross. I'd recommend it - it's very enlightening and manages to seamlessly and tastefully combine light-hearted humour, philosophy and the occasional nightmarishly shocking tale.
