Also BTCC, GP2, Porsche Supercup, DTM, and at a pinch A1GP.
Fair play to ITV for giving me full coverage of the BTCC weekends! Go, Matt Jackson....!

Re-reading Robin Hobb - Fool's Fate

I'm not hugely into fantasy (I've got a note from my mother to say I'm excused dragons) but I make an exception for Ms Hobb.  I love her stuff.

Tried to buy Alastair Reynold's new Sci-Fi tale yesterday, but couldn't find it in any shops around here.  I guess that'll be another online purchase, then!

David Gemmell - Troy 1: Lord of the Silver Bow.

Not read any of his stuff before (didn't think it would be quite my thing) but bought one as I was struggling to use up a gift voucher.  I'm about half way through and hooked - I can feel one of my 'buy and read everything by an author without regard to eating or sleeping' moods coming on

Lately I've been reading pretty much.
No fiction though, or stories for that matter.

I just finished A Skeptics Quest by Josh McDowell. (But I read it in Dutch, and then the title was Jezus, feit of fictie.)
It's about his quest to dig for arguments to prove christianity wrong.
But in the process he finds that the arguments to prove christianity right, are much stronger.
This book is filled with these arguments, objections and explanations.

Very interesting read!

I just looked him up on Wikipedia  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_McDowell . Interesting guy. I'l keep him in mind. Thanks, Paco.

Alastair Reynolds - House of Suns.  His latest Sci-Fi novel, which I've been looking forward to and am certainly enjoying.     But I can't find the time to sit down and read as much as I would like at the moment.

Just finished Wolf of the plains by Conn Iggulden

It is a 'funny' book not in the style of terry pratchet but along similar lines.

I used to work in the brentford triangle which adds a little spice to the book.

Things the Grandchildren Should Know by Mark Oliver Everett.

A great, bittersweet read.  Thoroughly recommended to anyone interested in Eels, or the man behind the band.

The user's manual of my new DVD hard disk recorder.

Ha!  Real men don't read manuals!

Ha!  Real men don't read manuals! 

Wrong. Real men don't have to read French, German (although i can actually understand that), Spanish and Italian manuals.

Somebody forgot to deliver this harddisk recorder with a normal manual in English or in Dutch. 

[Steve Jones]

By curious coincidence, I'm reading the manual for a TV that's just been delivered - birthday present for She Who Must Be Obeyed.  I'll have to dig out the HDD/DVD recorder manual as well, just to make sure everything is up and running by the time she comes home from work tonight.

Emasculated by technology...

Yes, I thought they all were these days?

To be more specific, it's a Dream Theater Concert DVD Display Unit (DTCDVDDU) 
At least until Mrs Emmerdale Display Unit gets back
