How is the Douglas Coupland one? I have often meant to check out some of his stuff. Did he do Girlfriend in a coma or am i getting him mixed up with someone else?

i'm reading the science of diskworld by terry pratchett and some other guys...it's classgives good background on physics in general with a good laugh

Lord of the Rings... again. On the two towers atm.

i read the lotr twice..it's a really good book,but i think it's going a little bit far calling it the best fantasy book ever.i (personally) prefer the cycle of fire by janny wurts..now before you start the flaming this is my personal opinion.read both before you start flaming me at least..

Heh , is the book that bad that it's put you off food or is it the content?

Ronan|Raven · 29-04-2002 11:53am

The Faber Book of Treachery, very good book detailing some of the most famous spies, covering the russians,british, germans and the americans.

Kolodny · 01-05-2002 10:12am

Anvil of Stars: Greg Bear. The follow up to The Forge of God. Not as good as the first one so far I think.

Scruff · 01-05-2002 10:44am

Nearly finished Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.
First sci-fi book i've read in ages. set in a Syndicate type version of America. Goes into some really deep stuff to do with the origins of language and religion, excellent stuff.
