It's that time of year, so... The Hobbit!
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

After years of avoiding it, I'm reading The Da Vinci Code.
I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

Well something must happen!
I've got a doorstop for a book at the moment - the 916-page Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson.

The weird thing is that it's not as hideous as some (ie Mr Stewart Lee!) makes out. Yes, the writing is pretty lazy, and Brown lacks any real style, but the plot is interesting enough and I enjoyed the fact that a book that is basically quite blasphemous became such a hit. Of course there are many novels which deserve the acclaim (and sales figures) that it received, but there are many far worse novels out there which could have been torn apart.
I'm reading Lint by Steve Aylett at the moment and enjoying it a lot. A fake autobiography of a trashy sci-fi novelist from the fifties onwards, it's incredibly bizarre but also very funny too."RIP Henchman No.24."

I saw the movie so I don't need to read the book.. That's how it works right?
I'm currently not reading anything, but I have A Game of Thrones in my bag ready to start soon. Watched the first season of the show last year and figure I'll read the first book right before the second season starts as a bit of refresher and all.

I finished 'The Greatest Show Off Earth' by Robert Rankin and I loved it, featuring as it did Abdullah the Flying Starfish from Uranus and the Dark Lord of all chickens, Sate-Hen. And Professor Merlin's Circus on board the SS Salamander. And the Edenites who live on the outside of Planet Earth. And the village of Bramfield. Yet it all came together and was tied up neatly at the end.
Next up may be The Earthsea Quartet by Ursula Le Guin. Ooo.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

I'm reading Ghostwritten by David Mitchell, which I'm really enjoying. The only downside is that once I've finished it I'll have read everything by him, and so will have to wait ages until his next book...
"RIP Henchman No.24."

We'll see you in the Summer, if you're a quick reader.

War and Peace is actually as great as you think it is. And it's probably about as long as seven or eight Doctor Who New Adventures... only a much lighter read.
