Just finished Korean Patterns by Paul S. Crane


Very dated, but interesting nonetheless.

Just started Letters from Burma by Aung San Suu Kyi.

Let the Galaxy Burn, a collection of short stories set in the WH40K universe. It's been very hit or miss.

He is one of the few writers of that genre that I enjoy reading. Have you read Polar Star? I think that was the best of the series so far.

I haven't read Rose yet, but a friend tells me it is excellent.

I stopped reading at the gross part. If you haven't gotten there yet you'll know it when you do. My dad remembers reading that part thirty years ago, that's how gross it is.

The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing Edited by Richard Dawkins

Very enjoyable so far. Many different areas of science are covered.

Working through 3 at the moment.

David Attenborough's biography - Life on Air
Bill Bryson's - A Short History of Nearly Everything

And most annoyingly, H.G.Wells' Invisible man. Annoying because one chapter finishes quarter way through for some reason, and then the last paragraph I get to read of said chapter is repeated halfway through the *next* chapter...

So much for getting the second least expensive version.

Tehe. I love the Jurassic park novels. I'm a huge Crichton fan. It's a shame we won't see any more work from him. Though I think his best work may have been behind him. I secretly have a copy of State Of Fear, which I hide whenever my lefty mates come around.

Henry Miller - The Rosy Crucifixion (it's going to take me forever. I love him but his writing is dense and convoluted)

Rose is good, especially when you have ancestors, as I do, who were miners in the same area. Polar Star is also good, but I can't choose between his books... they're all good. John Lawton is also good.
