I'll be reading that after I finish Dearly Devoted Dexter, the second of the Dexter series. So far I'm liking it, nice, easy read.

! I was looking at that for £10 in Tesco today!

Reading Twilight at the moment, bought the first 3 for £3.49 each in paperback and the 4th one in Hardback for £6.49 from amazon. billy bargain ! I've paid more for 1 single hardback than those 4 combined.

I'm sure I said in here that the book people are selling the twilight trilogy box set for under 7 quid. Can't find the post now though!

New one or old? Old one is superb. Not read the new one!

Reading Insomnia at the moment, trying to work my way through the entire Dark-Tower-related compendium

Dr No by Ian Fleming was the most recent book I read, very good and a bit darker than the films unsurprisingly.

Just started reading Stone Of Destiny by Ian R. Hamilton, who if you don't know took the Stone of Scone with 3 other conspirators and returned it to Scotland. He subsequently had a rather productive career as an Advocate. Not all that far into it yet but it is interesting so far even if I don't agree with all his conclusions - however it must be remembered that I'm reading it over 50 years after the event.

Always wanted to read that. It's supposed to be amazing, never heard anything bad said about it.

Kitten · 23-04-2009, 20:29

catch 22? If so, I'll send you it?

Was it you I was sending stupid white men too? I don't think I ever sent it?

Haven't updated in a while so i am currently re-reading Alastair Reynolds - Pushing Ice and i seem to be in a read all my books again phase. Haven't got cash at moment for new books and local libraries all suck for decent sci-fi and fantasy books.

Also similar for decent newer books to take out local library never gets them in
