Just finished Awkward Situations for Men by Danny Wallace. A piss-easy but very funny read.

I'm now doing my own book, which takes influence from $cientology, Islam, the Greek word for 'replenish' and the anti-blasphemy law in Ireland. It's fictional, but based around what I think will happen in the UK in the next 10-20 years.

I didn't really answer the question. I need a new book, perhaps.

Love Peter F. Hamilton and met him at a convention once. Did you ever read the Commonwealth series (Pandoras star, Judas Unchained) before The Dreaming Void? You don't need to as it's set a thousand or so years in the future but it's nice to see the references to the earlier books, even bringing some of the best characters back!

I'm currently reading The Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster, my favourite writer. I'm only about a 1/3 in, and it's already apparent that this is going to be another wonderful story from the man I consider to be the finest American writer of the last 25 years.

Yeah I saw the film before reading the book.  For a film based on a book it was quite decent, just a few extra story parallels were cut out.  And the how Elias became Eli.

Candles burning, by Tabitha King and Michael McDowell.

I read everything by Stephen King, also read one of his son's books "the heart-shaped box", and now one of his wife's, not very good though, the style is strange, and slow, and... well, it's taking me a big effort to keep reading it.

Did you read the Commonwealth books beforehand? You don't need to but there are lots of in-jokes and references only readers of 'Pandora's Star' and 'Judas Unchained' will get.

I usually have a few going at once. A modern novel, a historic one. Some history or bio & some sci-fi. Right now I'm rereading Jack Kerouac's On The Road, into Piers Anthony's Shade of the Tree-(He's Nora Roberts like). I've got Baldacci's Split Second for next & I LOVE Raymond Chandler. Just found a few I haven't yet read of his.

Great Expectations is a marvelous read. I hated to see it end. &Alcott is a very good writer. Always nice to read something by either.

After I finished "Candles burning" I started reading a friend's self-published book named "Los angeles del fuego fatuo", it has good things, but in general, the last episode is confusing and strange, left me with a weird sensation.
Now I'm starting with "A secret rage", by Charlaine Harris, the author of the books on which the show True blood is based on.
