    Good book, that, have you read it before? Scares me a little, but just reinforces all my views on the world.

    They made a TV series of this in my dim and distant youth. I can still rememer the annoyingly catchy theme song. I wonder if there's a DVD?

    the eaten heart - unlikey tales of love by giovanni boccaccio.
    its in a series of love stories so i thought, naturally, that they'd be soppy 14th century romances. turns out at least half of it is just medieval smut :) threesomes, adultery, and a handsome peasant seducing a whole nunnery of young (and pretty, of course) nuns.
    good though, and very funny; i like boccaccio a lot more for it.

    Forward the foundation - Isaac Asimov

    All completely different, all completely enjoyable ;)

    Glue - Irvine Welsh ... not my favourite of his by far, but still enjoyable. :)

    Really?:( I thought it was just a poor version of something similar to 1984 filled with a load of shite symbolism and feminist gob-shite.:(

    Evenin' all! I'm new to this forum!

    Snowblind's a great book! I like smuggler's tales too. Sadly as good as they are, most of 'em end up nicked!

    Currently reading The Pistol by James Jones

    Just finished 'The Quiet American' By Graham Green. A forensic exposition of human frailities and murky politicking set in a fragmenting Vietnam in the preceding days to the war. Has great resonance in the light of current conflicts like the M.E. Now reading 'Republican Party Reptile' by P.J O'Rourke. The guy is generally a dick, but it's great when his acerbic humour punctures certain righteous balloons.
