i'm halfway through the amber spyglass by Phillip Pullman. I've read the other 2 in the past two weeks and i'm really into them, cant put the third one down.

I'm halfway through reading "Illum" by Dan Simmons. It's a weird sci-fi story that has superhuman beings posing as Greek Gods re-enacting the events of the Illiad in the far future. And that's only really as a backdrop to the three stories that interweave in it. Recommended

Yeah the first one is ace

I will have to re read that one as I now have the last 2 in the trilogy.

I finished 'The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Universe' today, it was brilliant

and I have now just started 'The Restaurant at the End of the Universe' it's just as good as the first one so far

I think I will soon work my way through this one and the rest in the so called trilogy

That was the first ever Ian Rankin book that I read (I have read many of them now and I've even got a signed book of his. I got it when I met him

) and it is such a good book! So much so that Ian Rankin is one of my favourite authors now

you should read knots & crosses by ian rankin, very good and insightful into the rebus' past

trickyvicki · 24th July 2004, 06:21 PM

Yeah I know thats a thing I forgot to say. Although each book can stand alone and is really good, to get everything out of the later books you really need to have read the earlier books.

Like I say 'Black and Clue' was the first one I read but then I went back and read 'Knots and Crosses' and 'Black and Blue' was even more interesting when looking back on it afterwards.
