To Read Again

Persistent re-reader

I’ve read a few books in the past few weeks, but they’ve been re-reads.
Frank Herbert – Dune classic Science Fiction
Terry Pratchett – The Truth & Thief of Time his most recent Discworlds
William Gibson – Mona Lisa Overdrive the final book in the Neuromancer ‘trilogy’

I downloaded the ebook of the prologue to the new Robert Jordan book but, since I’ve not
finished the last one, I’ve not read it.

Swing Of Things

Back after imposed absence

I’ve actually managed to finish a couple of books in the past couple of weeks
including:

Tim Powers – Anubis Gates Which started very well and then fell to pieces towards the end.
A shame really.
Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace – Are You Dave Gorman? This book is hilarious. I recommend it. No, really.
Neil Gaiman – Coraline A kid’s book, supposedly. Brilliant, creepy and recommended. God I’m being positive today!

I also have these books on loan from the library:

Neil Gaiman – Smoke and Mirrors Short stories.
Rick Moody – Demonology Short stories!
Alan Warner – The Man Who Walks A novel by the guy who wrote The Sopranos.
No, not the TV Sopranos, it’s a great book about a girls choir. Much better than that makes it sound.
