Very much a debut novel as he finds his voice his later stuff is superb - also recommedn Cryptocomnicon

Still reading (and loving!) BLEAK HOUSE - more than half way through now.

[wongman]

Asimov's Robots. Caves of Steel, Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn.

Forgot how short the 1st two were and the way it is written is very "compact", no over-long sentences/flowery language/expostion heavy. Sharp & snappy language.

Also quite surprised about the "liberal" sex attittude of the characters in Robots of Dawn.

Will move onto the Foundation series next.

Reading very slowly these days Took me over a month to get through two volumes of Jon Courtenay Grimwood's Arabesk trilogy, and I've shelved the third for the moment. However, by comparison I am zipping through my next book, Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower, which is very readable, and commendably non-histrionic for a book about the slow, depressing collapse of civilisation as we know it.

Just started Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold.

Been looking forward to this for a while.

Finished Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (talking cat, horse and pigs, wooden gargoyles, people walking on water) and am now starting Shada (the novel not the script book)

[Boo]

Double Dead by Chuck Wendig. A zombie story with the twist that it is told from the point of view of a vamp who wakes up to find most of his prey have turned into shambling, rotting corpses.
