After my post last night, I have had a good sleep, and caught up with stuff. I still have lots of dreaded work to do this weekend, but that’s not now. Now is eating croissants, putting up Christmas trees, playing WII and wrapping stuff up. Oddly, this morning’s wrapping wasn’t for Christmas, but for a…

Next Book – Love all the People by Bill Hicks and John Lahr
Hello everyone. I am amazed that I have managed to go 2 weeks without blogging! It’s a real shame to say it, but work has properly stopped play recently. I have started travelling to work on the train, and I had been using that time to read, read, read. I have to say that it is…
Farewell captain Corelli
I have had this idea in the pipeline for a while, and it’s amazing. Well, in my head it is, anyway. I hadn’t really planned to start this so son, but took action as soon as I realised I could. The plan was that once I have read a book, I can send it out…
Book Review – Altered Carbon – Richard Morgan
I suppose that to start with I have to say that Altered Carbon is a very very good book. And that concludes the review. Thank you very much. Good night. “Why, why?” I hear you cry. Harumph, Oh OK then. I really got caught up in it’s pace , and since finishing it, I am having…
Starting the Sword of Shannara
Just a quick post to follow up my tweet. I managed to abstain from starting The Sword of Shannara all day, and got quite a bit of my Altered Carbon review sorted out on the train instead, yay me! BUT I’m about to go and sit with my children while they read. So in full…
Hello Word Press, nice to be here
Evening all. Well, what the bloody hell happened there? One minute I was finishing Altered Carbon and trying to find the time to write the review before starting Terry Brooks – The Sword of Shannara. Next thing I know, I’ve half written the review in evernote (other note apps are available) and moved my blog!! I’m not…
Next Book – Terry Brooks – The Sword of Shannara
Oh my goodness. I cant quite believe that I am rushing to write this blog post so soon. Altered Carbon has rather taken me way with it. I am currently VERY busy at work, but, nevertheless find that in snatched moments I am dreaming, nay yearning to read my book. I almost feel like I need…
Book Review – Raven – Charles L. Grant
I finished Raven by Charles Grant last night and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I didn’t really know what to expect when I started the book, but given the genre and the cover picture, I think I more or less got it! My only criticism is that I think the story…
Next Book: Richard Morgan – Altered Carbon
Hi everyone. Another quick post to announce my next book. I am just over half way through Raven so I wanted to choose what I would follow it with. I have just replied to a tweet about The Wheel of Time series. These books were really highly recommended to me and I managed to buy the…
Book Review – The Fog – James Herbert
I’ve just finished The Fog and I wanted to get into the habit of writing the review before I start the next book. I managed to get almost 1/2 way through The Fog before I had written the review for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, and that is frankly not acceptable! The review for The Fog will…
