You can read about how English middle aged women stich/ed the family's socks, knit/ted sweaters, cook/ed the pigs' heads ...  ;D

... actually also adored their husbands, which they seem to have forgotten meantime  :D

Yep, last week or so. Heard it on the news.
He also produced one of my favourite television series, ER, and i've read many of his books including Jurassic Park.

Indeed: Wonderful writer.

Godspeed, Michael.  :-\

Nope - you read about (mainly) the English kings, such as "Aethelread the Unready" (which is a lot more funny when translated into German I think) and his ancestors/successors. Unfortunately, it ends just before Henry VIII. entered the stage of history. >:(

Peter F. Hamilton - The Reality Dysfunction.

Not read anything by this author before, but I bought a good selection of books by my 'unread' authors just before Christmas and I'm glad I did.  This one started a little slowly for me, but I'm now at page 490 of around 1200 and thoroughly gripped 8)

I'm now reading something entirely different.

Raymond Benson - Metal Gear Solid

;D
It's a novelization of the video game of the same name.
For anyone who didn't know: I am/was a fan of the game(s).
I want to say I am a big fan, but then again I haven't played the latest two games... :-\

And at the moment I'm reading:
Meaningful Learning With Technology by David Jonassen, Jane Howland, Rose M. Marra and David Crismond.
And mannnnn..... is it exciting...

I am reading the Prelude to Dune House Corrino at the moment

Ah yes, I read that book as well. No wait, that was House Atreides.
Interesting read.

i found it an easier read than Dune itself which I have to admit I started 3 times before I finished it.

Paco if you have read House Atreides and enjoyed it you may as well finish that trilogy since it is really one long book.

Currently re-reading Robin Hobb's excellent 'Farseer' trilogy - I'm on the third and final volume.
I've also just bought her 'Liveships' trilogy, again for re-reading.  First time around a friend lent me them and got me hooked! 8)

Another three series that I have enjoyed.

Anyone read the Vlad series by Steven Brust?

I enjoyed them as well.

I'm done reading Metal Gear Solid. It was nice. 8) Made me want to play the game again!

Now I started reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, and man, it's very well written.
It's supposed to make you feel very depressed I think. And it succeeds.

I have read a fair bit of it already a few years ago, but couldn't bring myself to continue. So now I started all over, and I begin to understand more of it.

Good choice! I will start on those again (to make sure I'll be done when the next film is in cinemas) - as soon as I've finished the vampires.
