Nah, I'm just a bit of a bugger for bending the spine back on books, all the pages fell out
. I remember having a moan to him about it. He pointed me in the direction of the publisher...but I didn't moan to him . Funny read.

More than human - Theodore Sturgeon - I've been finding it a bit of a struggle but am beginning to get in to it now I think! Anyone read it? Should I persevere?
Buddhist Warfare - Michael Jerryson and Mark Juergensmeyer

No amount of cajolery...
norman cohn's book is a great read btw, i'd say essential reading if you want to know about conspiracy theories. i knew a lot of this stuff vaguely but didn't know how it all fitted together. he even talks about vaccination conspiracies, there's no way that these cunts can say that all this has nothing to do with jews.

CJ Sansom - Revelation. It's a historical detective novel set in Henry VIII's reign. My mum recommended it. Only a couple of chapters in, but it's running along nicely.
I am also rather digging the adventures of tattooed lunatic Gully Foyle in Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination. He is a very interesting character that man. Can't wait to see how he (and the plot) develops.

Good luck! I managed about 50 pages when I was in a 'funny mood' once.. I believe the term is 'densely written'..
I've just started 'The Rum Diary' again.. good stuff.. but is making me wanna go to the pub.

If I may be so presumptuos, it seems like you mine a certain sort of science fiction: Roberts, PK Dick, Vonnegut ?
if so I can't rate Harlan Ellinson highly enough to ye- also Bradbury when he's on form. Golden Apples of The Sun ftw.

Yes, it seems that way. Thanks for the tips. I am also reading Banks' work though.
Not so keen on the harder scifi. Don't really care how AG might work and how future wars will be conducted.
I may give M John Harrison's Light a read soon as a friend was raving about it last night.

He's written 4 about the same 'detective' but he wrote one book set in Spain during WW2 and another alternative history book about Britain under Nazi rule. So all historical, but not the same period. He is best known for his Shardlake novels though.

I know what you mean - was hoping that it wasn't all like that. Very short sentences. All the time. To make a point. About something.Good luck! I managed about 50 pages when I was in a 'funny mood' once.. I believe the term is 'densely written'..
