What Are You Reading Now?

[Stuart Wallis]

I'm reading Roger Moore's account of the making of Live And Let Die. Topicalwith another new Bond making his debut this year...

[Paul Clement]

I'm starting on the complete works of Oscar Wilde.

[Alex]

I'm starting on the complete works of Rich Hall.

Fortunately that's only three books, so it shouldn't take as long.

[Rob McCow]

Downward To The Earth by Robert Silverberg. It's about intelligent elephants, so very Christmassy!

[Rob McCow]

And now I'm reading Stephen Cole's Doctor Who and "The Art of Destruction".

It should be called "The Art Of Really Confusing And Dull Writing".

[Paul Monk]

Still Devil in Amber for me. Quite near the end now though.
Its all very Dennis Wheatley isn't it?

And I spotted a very cheeky reference to the Da Vinci Code!

[Stuart Wallis]

The third edition of Don't Panic, Neil Gaiman's biography of Douglas Adams.

[SiHart]

I'm reading All Too Beautiful a biography of Steve Marriot by Paulo Hewitt.

[Pip Madeley]

The Sound of Laughter, Peter Kay's autobiography.

[Si Hunt]

I'm reading "Smart Blonde", a new biography of Dolly Parton. I've read 110 pages since I got the book yesterday.

Si.

[Paul Clement]

I'm reading Ecstasy by Irvine Welsh, one of my Christmas presents.

[Andy Frankham]

Finished Christopher Rice's 'Light Before Day' (which was an amazingly intense read - with lots of gay sex!), and am now moving onto 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', which arrived about twenty minutes ago. Wish me luck.

[Andrew Curnow]

Good luck! Actually it's rather good, certainly first time round, even though to an extent it has a sense of getting various ducks in a row for the seventh book, rather than being a complete entity in its own right. IMHO.

I'm (re)reading "The Space Age", one of my favourite EDAS.

[Andy Frankham]

I've started it, at least. For all of two minutes before I was interrupted.

Not keen on 'The Space Age'. A rather dire attempt by the otherwise great Steve Lyons, I felt.

[Si Hunt]

Read 229 pages of "Smart Blonde" since Christmas Day. Should have it finished by the end of the week!

Si.

Dear God! This from a man who usually needs a sit down after reading a bus ticket!

Currently about 2/3 of the way through 'Atom Bomb Blues'- not bad, but it needs to go somewhere soon.

[Si Hunt]

It's true! I don't read anything for three years and then I'll read three books in a fortnight. I'm a contrary beast!

Si.

[Paul Clement]

Ecstasy has been finished and I've now moved onto Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett so that I can soon get round to Wintersmith (another Christmas pressie).

[Stuart Wallis]

I'm now onto one of David Howe's Telos novella thingies, The Dalek Factor by Simon Clark.

[Andy Frankham]

A good book, Stuart. The only Telos novella I actually enjoyed.

I'm 100 pages into Harry Potter VI. Typically nothing has actually happened yet, but nonetheless it's so easy to consume 100 pages of nothing in a Harry Potter and fail to notice, since it's such an easy and fun read.

[Anthony Williams]

I've just made a start on Ben Elton's Chart Throb!

[WhiteCrow]

I always do a lot of reading in Christmas week.

Alas my book on Rugby I got for Xmas has turned out to be dull as hell. Sportsmen mainly seem to like to tell you how much harder they work out than anyone else.

So instead I'm now rummaging around reading bit of a new translation of the Bible which is interesting, cos it's actually readable. I'll no doubt have to read some of the Koran later (translated version) before I get too evangelical!

[Andrew Curnow]

I'm reading "The Space Age", the Panini Doctor Who Storybook, and also (to Little Miss) a very odd, but curiously-compelling book called "Lionboy: The Chase" which is clearly a sequel to a book called "Lionboy" which we haven't read, so there is a degree of working out what happened previously going on!

[Larry]

just finished reading The Algebraist, have to say it was very hard going and one of the few books that I have rearlly struggled to finish after a little break i'm now going back to my unread Doctor Who, books and am going to start to read Island of Death..
