Im sure I read somewhere that e-book publishers retailers are being investigated about ebook price fixing, although i may be wrong.

Thanks for that. Hope it will change the practice, but I won't hold my breath! ;)

Just finished Dean Koontz, key to midnight which he originally wrote under the name of Leigh Nichols, although shorter than the original its still quite gripping and dramatic cold war guy gets girl love story'ish type of book, not his normal fare but very good.

Just started Koontz's Whispers, pretty good so far.

I haven't read Whispers in *years*. I used to love Koontz's stuff, especially the older books such as Watchers, Phantoms, Midnight, Strangers. Never really got on with his more recent stuff though.

Yeah, I'm with you there - his old school horror/thrillers were great. Whispers is the one with the writer, right?

Haven't bothered with most of his new stuff since about 'From the corner of his eye'.

Flicking between this and an EA Sports FIFA 11 forum.

Re: What are you reading?
 
Following the Secret Crown read Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich & just finished The Mask of Troy by David Gibbins. Now half way through Where Death Delights by Bernard Knight. :D

currently reading 'But can you drink the water?'

http://www.amazon.co.uk/But-Can-You-.../dp/B003PPCSJ8

can't say I'm overly impressed - it's not bad, it's just not great, but for 70p......

Re: What are you reading?
 
half way through "the girl who kicked the hornets nest"
first book was good, second book not as good, third and last book too much fluff and filler, never mind, keep on truckin':)

trying to decide wether to reread an old favorite or start on something new, downloaded about 6000 so i am not short on choice;)
