Yet again I'm reading the Katherine Kerr series.

I loves these books! Highly recommended to anyone, as long as you have the time to get into them. They can be very complicated with the different timelines and incarnations but definatley worth it

The Robert Aspirin Myth and Phule series.

All fantastic books.

I started (and finished) Johnny and the Bomb in the bath yesterday afternoon

so now Good Omens is the Bathroom book

They are very very funny books - even though I have read them all several times, I still notice new things, new comments, forward planned jokes and such like now

I have just lent the first 2 books to someone at work - I can always lend them to you once I get them back if you want

I recently completed the Algebraist, I really liked it, I was looking at getting another Iain M Banks but there are so many, do you chaps know which one is the best?

Good Omens - fantastic book.

Crawley - a angel who did so much fall, as saunter vaguely downwards
Dog - Satanic hell-hound and cat worrier

Pratchett should be compusary reading tbh.

I read a bit of Going Postal on the train home yesterday but I ended up falling asleep

Not because ti was rubbish, I was just tired, so have to go back to that soon.

Besides that I'm reading The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and erm David Beckham's autobiography.....oi don't laugh, it's surprisingly interesting and it only cost 10p

Flibster · 17-07-2006, 22:26

I haven't read Going Postal yet

Listed to the unabridged audiobook though.

Not the best Pratchett but it's very very good.

Have they just copied the notes he made in crayon onto paper or have they actually typed it out?

I'll have to go looking as I've only read the first 6 or 7 Myth books and the first 2 Phule ones. Thought they were great

Oh and yes Mr Pratchett should be compulsary reading for everyone.

As much as I hate to say this....amazon came out on top for these. *hangs head in shame*

The newer Myth and Phule books *strangely since he has been co-writing* aren't as good - but they're still entertaining and most importantly funny.
