Looks a bit sci-fi to me. I'm a huge fan of Iain Banks but I just can't get into his Iain M. Banks stuff there's just something about sci-fi that doesn't at all interest me.Originally Posted by Matthew

You should reconsider. Hyperion is cool. Let your mind drift into realms yet to be imagined, worlds beyond worlds, dreams beyond nightmares, and maybe you'll meet yourself returning from your fantasy.
If 6 of the 7 dwarves were not Happy, does that prove that dwarves are generally an unhappy lot?
I read this a couple of months back... an amazing read, couldn't put it down.
Second only to " A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth when it comes to books about India in my eyes.
Highly rated.

The science text books for my next terms teaching.
Trying to decide how best to torture the authors before they finally die.
We could all sit outside on banana lounges discussing the best way to rebuild a 4WD transmission and agree, through shared stories of conquests supporting our assertions, that there is no basis to the proposition that those least assured of their persuasions are the first to condemn others for theirs.
Picked up a book in Bangkok Airport today - dunno if anyone has mentioned it on here - fair chance as it was next to The Damage Done and Welcome to Hell - though it's not a tale of life inside The Bangkok Hilton. I don't even know who it's by (haven't it to hand) - some Italian dude - called 'The Fortune Teller Told Me' or something like that. 4 chapters in and I'm gripped. It's sheer quality! A mix of Asian travel, history, and the unexplained world of clairvoyancy and spirits. I've always told mates from back home there is some unexplainable forces at work in these parts (I've seen rare glipses but heard many more stories that seem bizarre and nonsensical to those of use from the West) and they think I'm talking sh!te but this book was just what i was looking for - he is exploring all of these Asian 'superstitions' while exploring Asia in his job as a correspondent on foot, by car, sea, and train - but not by air - why? Because 18 years previously a fortune teller told him not to fly in 1993. The book is about that year.

"how to investigate thai -chinese uni girls" by Frank Dux, that is.
'The real Warren Buffet'
I thought it'd be an insight into the man but it's dry and boring and reads like an ad for Berkshire Hathaway.
It'd be fascinating if it wasn't so badly written.
Having a quote from someone on the Forum as your signature. Legal?
At the moment it's the Book section of the Spectrum liftout from a weekend Sydney Morning Herald I picked up in Australia a couple of months ago, and it's great stuff!
I wish someone still distributed the weekend SMH in Bangkok, I don't care how overpriced it was I miss it.
Been reading lots of other stuff that I'm too lazy to post about right now, more coming soon...
Or would you like to swing on a star?
My Traitor's Heart by Rian Malan
douglas e. winter - the dark fantastic.
it's a biography of horror writer/director/artist clive barker. got it cheap in some discount book store. i do like barker's early work but wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan but this, i think, is a really well-written, fascinating bigoraphy. barker comes across as an excellent interviewee and winter seems to ask the kind of questions, and explores the kind of ideas that really appeal to me. very enjoyable and interesting stuff.
"so please show no pity as we come up from the ground, and please remember as you kill us and cut us down that time will not wash clean the bloody face of history, and someone will breathe here again and they will hate you for what you leave." m.g.
^ Looks interesting !
I'm reading the August 2007 edition of LP Thailand.
