What are you reading and book reviews - Page 10

Thanks for the review of Brief History Craig

It's something I mean to read but haven't got round to getting a copy of it yet.

Much more useful than the standard collection of superlatives that most reviews consist of

I founf Breif History hard going the first time I read it, the second time was easier.

Am currently reading:

THE WAR OF THE RING

BEING THE FIFTH BOOK OF
THE LORD OF THE RINGS

(Thought I'd copy the style of the inside cover)

Needs no review tbh.

Recoil by Andy McNab. Appeals to my warrior side.

Just re-read Dune by Frank Herbert - a true science fiction classic and something which everyone who likes the genre should read.

I am now some ways through I, Robot - review soon

I'm reading Long Way Round at the moment. The book of the TV series and the journey Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman took round the world.
It's really good so far, interesting stuff.

Don't understand all the bike references as I know very little about bikes but it's still interesting, albeit tinged with sadness for me but that's just a personal thing.

Nice and relaxing reading again.

The books is an excellent read

I've got the DVD too

I'm currently on the 3rd of the Torchwood books they bought out - they've been good too

Haly · 25-01-2007, 15:16

Yeah I've got the DVD too

Might get the illustrated book sometime too

For the last few weeks I've been reading (upon instruction) the 'Anita Blake - Vampire Hunter' series by Laurell K Hamilton. I'm now on book 3 (I don't read as much as I used to)...

They're not bad, slightly juvenille but enjoyable

I'm working my way through a Chris Ryan ten book boxset that I got from the bookman at work just before Christmas. The writing style varies between them so much that it's as though they're written by different people. They either are, or he's being clever as the style does vary depending on who he's writing about.

And I've also got the whole of the James Herriott series of vet books on audiobook and am listening to them in the Feekmobile to and from work. I only ever read the first couple before and I think they're great. Being read by Christopher Timothy adds a nice extra touch.
