f4f3A list of what I'm reading this week:
Newton's Wake, by Ken McLeod (a space opera with a Glaswegian trading family - or possibly a Glaswegian gang)
The Swords of Night and Day, David Gemmel, a sort of Drenai novel with Skilgannon the Damned and a guest appearance from Druss)
Growing up in an Argyle Village, by the guy who used to stay next door to our cottage in the Heelands
Leave it to Jeeves, a P.G Wodehouse with Jeeves but no Wooster
Godel Escher Bach, again, which is a bit of a cheat since I always have it on the go
Perdido Street Station, which I think I have to admit is stalled again, although 50 pages further through this time.
"Perfume" is on the waiting list.
At the weekend I was in Fopp, though, so I bought another 2 or 3 books, including P. K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle" which I've never read before, and a Walter Mosley "Easy Rawlings". Oh, they also had the new paperback edition of "The Princess Bride" for £3, but I let Bill have that since they only had one copy.
