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

"The BoneSetter's Daughter" by Amy Tan.

Also still reading the excellent China Mieville's "The Scar".

Ok, just finished the first two Chapters of "A Prayer for Owen Meaney" - and very quickly running out of ideas for new books....

OOOh Metal Chicken

Did you know we used to work with one of China Mieville's friends?

I am re-reading Caleb Carr's The Alienist.

For some weird reason have started reading The Firm by John Grishom again when i ahve two books sitting waiting to be read...really enjoying reading it though

Jasper fforde - Lost in a Good Book

I'm about ten minutes away from finishing Artemis Fowl - The Arctic Incident, and I'm STILL about half way through The Bourne Identity. I did manage to finish Impossible Places though

I picked up the first Artemis Fowl after seeing someone here had read it and liked it (well, that and it had a cool sparkly cover ), and I've just finished a review of it for the post. If you've read it, please come add your comments! The relevant thread is F123546?thread=282267

Thanks!

Currently rereading 'Pashazade' by Jon Courtenay Grimwood so I can read the third one and know what has happened in the previous two!

Better than I remembered it to be

I just finished 'The Salmon of Doubt'. I think you all know who that's by.

DaSilva did you read The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, I've just read the novalization of X2 it had a different ending to the film, it makes me think they may have filmed 2 endings

I am reading 'Modern Genre Theory' by David Duff. To be honest, it's not exactly a riveting read.

King Solomon's Mines by H. Rider Haggard. This is preperation for the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film.

Now rereading the second one in the series: Effendi by the same guy.

I read it the book before "Lost..." Reef followed straight on


Next up will be Bill Bryson's "A Brief History of Nearly Everything" and tomorrow I'm handing over my copy of "Salmon of Doubt" for Z to read

I've just started to read 'I Claudius / Claudius the God'. After that I may start on some of the other books from my holiday reading list. The holiday has been postponed indefinitely due to family health problems.

I'm reading The Hermit of Eyton Forest by Ellis Peters at work, inbetween playing on hootoo.

About to start The Golden Fool by Robin Hobb, but it's too large to keep brining it here every day.

*waves* Hey there Odo! Did you lose your Bishop?

My copy of Golden Foll has still not arrived yet (or possibly within the last 24 hours)! I ordered it in November and I'm extremely unhappy about it .

Anyway I just started Wyrd Sisters yesterday.

And it's Fool, not Foll. Noticed it just as I pressed the Post Message button

Hi Toy Box

I decided to drop the 'Bishop' bit after the Birmingham meet. I was rather shocked that several people had expected a chap to turn up and this way they can't just make assumptions from the name - they'll need to check out my PS.

Hope your copy turns up soon, I think this book is supposed to introduce even more threads into the trilogies and not do a lot to tie them all up. I'm looking forward to the next one.

You could try Bishopess then ?

The worst part is that I've found a copy at Waterstones' when I was in Edinburgh last time. Why didn't I purchase it at that moment? I was still young and naive (or just naive) then .

Bishopness Great!! I like it.

Off to change the name.
