cool. this book then...i'll go edit it into the first post and i'll get a copy tomorrow :)
 
a book club sounds interesting,

but i doubt any ball cap wearing people would be allowed to join. lol
 
books i would read for a book club :

Interface - Neal Stephenson, Frederick George

satire about an american election after the american deficit has got so big america can't afford to pay the interest payments ... i've cheated a bit because i've actually started reading this only about 20 pages in ... i think people that have an interest in politics but don't take it seriously would love this book ... neal stephenson is probably my favourite author

A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess

i just ordered this on the weekend after i finished trainspotting and someone recommended this as being even more difficult to understand language wise

Neuromancer - William Gibson

ordered this as well on the weekend ... classic cyberpunk not everyones cup of tea and not always mine but it is a classic and i've never read it



the trouble with book clubs on here is that everyone seems to have vastly different tastes ... so i thought i'd just lay out what books i'm planning on reading in near future incase anyone else is interested ... if anyone can name some books they think i might be interested in based on these 3 i may be willing to take a bit of a chance on a book

A Clockwork Orange is a classic. Most people will know it from the film. Read the book people.
Neuromancer is one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. There is so much snobberry towards sf, however, that it is ignored. Unless you are Aldous Huxley, Vonnegut or H.G.Wells you're fucked.
 
"Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell

reading about this it might actually interest me i'll see if i can pick it up somewhere but don't count on me yet (i have spent to much money on books lately :))
 
Here you go Oprah.. here are some suggestions:
I Know This Much is True- Wally Lamb
Lolita- Vladamir Nabokov

i do like sci fi just not always the cyberpunk stuff ... i just finished reading :

Heart of the Comet - Gregory Benford, David Brin

and it's one of my favourite sci fi books i've ever read ... has the balance of having a deep and somewhat complex story but good realistic characters a great example of "hard sci fi" ... i can't say anything about the story as it will spoil it



i think there is some snobbery towards sci fi for good reason some/a lot of sci fi is just crap ... it is my favourite genre though and i do even enjoy reading some crap sci fi ... i've been reading the mars series by ben bova quite a lot recently and its pretty crappy but still enjoyable for me but i wouldn't recommended it to someone who wasn't into sci fi as it's not very well written

I've seen it in second hand bookshops and charity shops recently. After the Booker and R+J's book club it sold shed loads. So there are a lot of secondhand copies out there. When I came back from Hay, btw, I had to go to IKEA and by a new bookcase.
 
a few books :)


"The Madman and the Professor"
by Simon Winchester


"Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies"
by Jared Diamond.


"Full House : The Spread of Excellence from Plato to Darwin"
by Stephen Jay Gould.

yeah i was hoping to find it at a second hand store :)

i usually prefer to buy brand new books as i like when i read a book you can tell the pages haven't been turned yet ... but i really have spent a lot of money on books recently lately i've been reading a 600 page book a week (is quick for me)

TWM- I recommend it to anyone.
A Child Called It- Angela's Ashes is better written and much funnier.
Anything by Paul Theroux is worth reading.
