Re: What are you reading?
Years ago I liked to read Frederick Pohl. and one that I remember was called "Way Station", I used to read a lot of Sci-Fi then, and in the sixties and seventies they were quite scarce, I'd go to the library and look for that special yellow jacket, it wasn't until I was working in Manchester, that I got to have a look in the "book" stores and to me, it was like being in a sweet shop, all these wonderful authors, writing what I wanted to read, and of course Heinlen was the top man followed by Theodore Sturgeon, and there were a load of others as well, Aszimov, Arthur C Clarke, Ray Bradbury, and a load I can't remember, but at the time they were wonderful and 'I can't remember what I've forgotten'....lets put it like this, over the years, the local school fete's have made plenty out of my book clear outs, but it was either that or me moving into my garden shed, just today my Mag has arrived from the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Club, and I always think, no don't buy any more, but, there is "The Forest Mage" by Robin Hobb and "Shadow Play by Tad Williams" also "The Blood Knight" by Greg Keyes there is loads of stuff in it, I'm wondering if I should buy "The Lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch, I believe they are going to make a film of it, and I would prefer to read it first, and Tom Holt's new one "Barking" I think that title give it away, but perhaps I'm wrong, here we go again, that's annoying "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" only £3.99, I should have waited, must get my order in, looks like five more to order, have I got the room?
