[Rob McCow]

Started Feersum Enjinn by Iain M Banks today.

[Nyder]

Still reading Georgie Cole's autobiog. He's got to the Minder years now, a series which I enjoyed immensely. I can feel a boxed-set purchase coming on....

[Rob McCow]

And we've got Dennis Waterman singing the theme tune on TOTP later this year!

[Stuart Wallis]

It was that or the New Tricks theme...

[Nyder]

But how long to wait before we have Dennis & George singing "What Are We Gonna Get For 'Er Indoors?"....

[Paul Clement]

I read City of Gold & Lead by John Christopher and am now reading the final part of the original Tripod trilogy The Pool of Fire.

But how long to wait before we have Dennis & George singing "What Are We Gonna Get For 'Er Indoors?"....

It was on a TOTP2 on Christmas Day just gone funnily enough. Or you can try YouTube...

[Dirk Gently]

I saw it on TotP recently too, (Christmas Day?). Avoid if possible.

I've recently read The Habits of the House by Fay Weldon and The Wall by William Sutcliffe (which was a fantastic read). Am now reading The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year by Sue Townsend, which I'm enjoying and getting annoyed with in equal measure.

DW Engines of War - some nice ideas but oh, I long for the days of more grown up DW novels

[Stuart Wallis]

I'm missing the EDAs/PDAs as well, or at least that level of sophistication compared to the somewhat formulaic "family-friendly" books we've tended to get over the last decade or so.

[Nyder]

Stephen Fry's "Moab Is My Washpot". Think I'm going to enjoy this one

Well, The Blood Cell was a great step in the right direction. Now starting Silhouette.

[Rob McCow]

Finished off Feersum Endjinn by Iain M Banks complete with it's multi-strand narrative and full quarter of the book rittern in fonetiks. I've also nearly come to the end of the Hunger Games trilogy, finding out what it takes to be a Mockingjay.

But next up will be Robert Rankin's latest, The Abominable Showman. Hurrah!

[SiHart]

Next up, An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris.

[Stuart Wallis]

Heavy Water by Martin Amis.

[Richard Brinck-Johnsen]

Almost finished re-reading The Sword and the Circle by Rosemary Sutcliff - looking forward to finally reading The Light Beyond the Forest.

[SiHart]

An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris.

[Rob McCow]

The Abominable Showman by Robert Rankin - Traveling back in time from the 1960's to the 1920's (Queen Victoria's 90th Jubilee year) thanks to the aid of a time-travelling sprout called Barry, our hero has joined The Leviathan on it's space mission, but been sent on a scientific study accompanied by Professor Mandelbrot into the heart of the sun via a detour onto the Garden of Eden (which is on Venus) where they have discovered whether the sun is indeed a big ball of fire or actually a lens that allows entry into heaven. On the way they have encountered the Vegetable Lamb, the Humongous Fungus, Count Ilya Rostov, a competing pair of assassins and many more.
It's all jolly good fun.

A Letter Of Mary by Laurie R. King.

[Paul Clement]

Kim by Rudyard Kipling. Good but not exceedingly good. Only one Mr Kipling manages that.

[Stuart Wallis]

Doctor: Tell me Ace, do you like Kipling?

Ace: Dunno Professor, I've never kippled!

Doctor: I don't wish to know that, kindly leave the TARDIS!
