Sorry, it was a mistype - it's Free Fall, not Freefall; it's one of Robert Crais' Elvis Cole series.

Re: What are you reading?
 

"The Fuller Memorandum", by Charles Stross. It's the third book in his excellent "Laundry" series.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just ordered that from Amazon (using the CF click-thru, obviously)

Re: What are you reading?
 

Well I'm taking on my holiday on Saturday, The Day After Roswell by Col. Philip J. Corso, (Ret.) to finish, then Next by Michael Crichton.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Received on Thursday. Finished (late) on Friday night. Great read :D

I'd love a NecronomiPod...

Re: What are you reading?
 

Agreed, I hope Stephenie Meyer decides to continue with 'Midnight Sun' which is a retelling of Twilight from Edward's perspective.


I read the first 12 chapters which she released on her website after someone had leaked a version, and hope she decides to continue and finish the book.

Stuff (not the word on the book title) My Dad Says - Justin Halpern

And the rest of my holiday reading has arrived from Amazon (don't forget to use the CF click-thru), so I have put them in the spare bedroom with the other books I am taking away, so I am not tempted....

The Fuller Memorandum - Charles Stross
What The Dog Saw - Malcolm Gladwell
Plague Year - Jeff Carlson
Super Freakenomics - Steven D Levitt & Stephen J Dubner
The Mammoth Book of Apocalyptic SF - edited by Mike Ashley
Ice, Iron and Gold - S M Stirling
Veteran - Gavin Smith
Enduring Love - Ian McEwan

To go with
The Mammoth Book Of Alternate Histories - edited by Ian Watson & Ian Whates
Free Fall / Indigo Slam - Robert Crais (two books in one omnibus edition)
The Gone-Away World - Nick Harkaway
On The Oceans Of Eternity - S M Stirling

Those and a couple of magazines (Focus, Economist, New Scientist, et al) should keep me entertained/amused whilst I am away.:D

Re: What are you reading?
 

"Blood Oath - The President's Vampire" by Christopher Farnsworth.

Re: What are you reading?
 

Armed Police: The Police use of firearms since 1945

Maybe not the most riveting of reads but should be mandatory before anyone is allowed to comment on any Police firearms operations on websites. :D

Re: What are you reading?
 

Lustrum - Robert Harris

Sequel to Imperium

Never thought Roman politics could be so gripping!

Pompeii by the same author is less politics, more mystery/thriller...

Re: What are you reading?
 

For the third time.

Philip Jose Farmers Riverworld Series (To Your Scattered Bodies Go/The Fabulous Riverboat/The Dark Design/The Magic Labyrinth)

Re: What are you reading?
 

I read (and re-read) those years ago - I loved the first two, but thought the third and fourth got a bit rambling and self-indulgent (imho).

Re: What are you reading?
 

"American Psycho" by Brett Easton Ellis - disturbing & funny at the same time!

Re: What are you reading?
 

Just about finished Lord of the Rings - Looking for a cheap audio copy of The Hobbit.

But in the mean time my next book is - 'ss-gb'

Re: What are you reading?
 

Started it last night... and finished it last night (well, this morning).

Read the whole thing in one sitting, & ended up going to bed at 5am (despite having to get up for work at 8am today :erm:).

Great read.
