    going to try to start reading Canal Dreams by Iain Banks in the next few days. It's the shortest of the books I have at present and looks really interesting. :)

    Thanks for all the recent recommendations from people as well. If you finish a book, try writing a little blurb about it to let people know how it was. :)

    don't tell me the ending :tongue: i can't get this just yet, and i just know that it's all going to be spoiled. in fact, i'm sure someone will probably (or rather should probably) post a thread about it in this very forum and i may decide to not read that thread until i get to read the book. :)

    I'm thinking of avoiding the Internet, TV and newspapers, and wearing earplugs whenever I walk around town until I've read the book. Our local Borders was cleaned out yesterday apart from two copies of some special edition going for 35 quid, haha.

    I know, I know ... I have really lame books to swap. :(
