I just got both 'Pandora's Star' & 'Judas Unchained' with the Amazon voucher Cable Forum kindly sent me when they said I had won the sweep, when I, actually, didn't - thanks to both of you :tu:

The books are, each, nearly 5cm thick :Yikes:

If you like them, try the nights dawn trilogy (Reality Dysfunction, Neutronium Alchemist, The Naked God) - excellent read, let down a little by the ending - but well worth the effort - again 5cm thick, if not more...)

My fave sf authors are
John Scalzi - Old Man's War
S.M. Stirling - "Dies The Fire" trilogy
John Varley (especially the Titan trilogy)
Robert Heinlein (except some of his later self-indulgent stuff)
Larry Niven (especially "The Mote in God's Eye" and "Lucifer's Hammer")
Joe Haldeman (especially the Forever War series)
Peter Hamilton (space opera, but done well in imho)
Ken McLeod (communist anarchist science fiction - unusual)
Spider Robinson
Allen Steele
Neil Asher
Richard Morgan

For non-SF, I read
Lee Child (Jack Reacher)
Tom Clancy
Harlan Coben
Jonathan Coe
David Baldacci
Robert Crais
Matthew Reilly
John Sandford
Bill Bryson
Al Franken
Stephen Ambrose

and anything by Terry Pratchett :D

Robert Harris, especially Archangel & Fatherland...

Fantastic atmospheric thrillers, Archangel set in post cold war Russia & Fatherland in 1960's Germany after their victory in WW II...

My latest talking book is Night of the Triffids... Which I've read before, bit was well worth a revisit.

Reading Hogfather before it's showing on Sky One so I can see how well they've ported it to the screen. :)
