Ta Sparky, They are my Yuletime books. I'm working my way through them at a leisurely paceWhich one(s) were you referring to?
Cool! 'Wildwood' by Roger Deakin, which is a great book about trees, but sadly has no Robots, lasers or spaceships in it.

Any Axes Nowadays I tend to buy my books at the charity shop, I often see something that I've read before and think I will read that one again, When I get a box full they go back to the shop Peeing and reading I will have to give that a try
I have a bedside table 'pouch where I keep all my stuff:For those who are interested, my pouch contains the following:Spirit DC4 stone Tom Sawyer (mod) Explorer Scout (mod)Recruit Classic Security 17 SI Mini-MagButton Compass.
Picked it up for 20 bucks, it even has the tray!
Which Iain Banks have you read? Also, have you read ALL the Dune books?
Too Much Information. As in, everyone probably doesn't want/need to know that much about my toilet habits.......I'm going to have to try again with the 4th Dune book - it really is a brilliant story.I know what you mean by being forgetful. I picked up a Stewart Lee DVD in a charity shop the other day and just before I paid for it my daughter pointed out I already have it.

Have you read 'Diamond Age' too? That's another good one.I've tried several times to start 'The Baroque Cycle', but just can't seem to get into it.Great writer though.
I'm trying to save money Snow Crash ordered

With the Baroque Cycle its the same for me, never made it through Quicksilver. Yes to Diamond Age another great book. I love "Diamond Age" & "Snow Crash" because they are so fully packed with original ideas and have a rich and detailed world. I think that is kinda missing from his other works.

I really persevered with Quicksilver but it just wasn't happening. Have you read William Gibson too because he's along the same lines except, dare I say, even better?
