What are you reading?
There has been the entertainment thread of movies, tv and music but I didn't see one on books so I thought I'd start one.
Currently reading:
George R R Martin's A Game of Thrones Rereading the series in hopes that the next book will come out eventually. 5 years late now...
Terry Pratchett's Nation HUGE Pratchett fan.
Just finished :
E.R. Chamberlin's The Bad Popes
I also recently read Neil Peart's ( The drummer for Rush) Ghost Rider and was sorely disappointed. Hope that doesn't offend any of the Canadians here. Love his drumming and lyrics but I did not like that book.

Re: What are you reading?
Currently on the last of a collection of 8 Chris Ryan books about ex SAS regiment members living "normal" lives but getting pulled back into military/mercenary life. Chris Ryan is Ex-SAS himself and all his books are based on his life and those of others from the regiment.

Re: What are you reading?
read them all rob,chris ryan knows how to put a good book together mate.
just read the fourth realm trillogy,1st the traveller,2nd the golden city,3rd the dark river,they are wrote by john twelve hawks.a really good read and reflection on modern life.how we all live on the grid.the grid being computers,cctv etc,etc.all the tecnology that tracks and imposes on our every day life,most of the time without us being aware of it.the travellers are people who can leave their bodys and travel to 6 other realms,where they gather knowledge and ideals.they have guardians ,normal people who have been raised to be their body guards.a family tradition passed on through hundreds of family generations.they are called the harlequins.famous travellers being folk from history like,joan of arc,cant remember any other examples but visionary people who seemed ahead of their times.the bad guys in this are the bretheren or tabula as they get called.they run the evergreen foundation who want to create a computerised surveillance system in the industrial world this will allow them to establish a virtual panopticon.sorry im rambling on.but these books are some of the best reads ive had in a very long time.
cheers shaun

Re: What are you reading?
I really need to just get a subscription to Reptiles. I pick up issues from time to time in stores but for some reason have yet to subscribe.

Yes i get them almost a month before i see them at the pet stores.The one i just got is the August issue. Coffee Black if you do a web search for reptile magazine you will find ton of sites where you can get a year subscription for $15.00. I can remember which one i order from, but $15.00 beat the heck $4.99 at pet store. It's also cheaper than getting a subscription from one of the cards in the magazine.
