      Did you find anything good??

    2. Karsa Orlong

      Karsa Orlong

      Yes thanks, I picked up 3 Alastair Reynolds books in the 3 for 2 offer :-)

  2. Karsa Orlong

    Hiya, glad I could help (even if it was me asking you for help, LOL!). I've not heard of Simon R. Green. Didn't he used to be on Blue Peter (joking!!) :-)

    Cheers

    Steve

  3. Karsa Orlong

    Excellent, thanks! If you like them, and a bunch of my fellow Steven Erikson fans like them, I'll hopefully like them, too. Might have to push the first one up my wish list ;-)

      Oh things appealed - but I couldn't make up my mind. So I walked out. It's the coming of the apocalypse, I'm certain.

  5. Karsa Orlong

    Hiya Pickle, how's it going? A quick question, as I noticed you like Jim Butcher's books: do you think it's better to start with the Dresden books or the Codex Alera ones? Cheers! Steve

    I know!! It's wrong on so many levels - most of them vertically challenged! I wonder what Lee Child thinks about it.

    is in awe. Rush, O2 London. Best. Gig. Ever.

      I saw Rush at Wembley (the old one!!) in 1981 - awesome - glad you enjoyed them. :)

      I'm jealous - I didn't see them till '83! :)

  8. Karsa Orlong

    is just back from seeing Rush in Birmingham. Not as perfect as Manchester but still amazing!

      Did they play stuff from their new album? And when is it being released?!

    2. Karsa Orlong

      Karsa Orlong

      Yeah! They played BU2B and Caravan, and said they're going back in the studio after the tour to finish the album, hopefully by the end of 2011. Both tracks kicked bum live! :)

  10. Karsa Orlong

    Has just read the final word on the final page of his favourite series of books ever. So sad it's over.

  12. Karsa Orlong

    Hi Frankie - yay, another Rush fan -Counterparts is a great album :)

    Yeah, I love Blackfield. I saw them a couple of years ago - they're great live so, yeah, you're very lucky - go see them!

    Who else do you like?

    Cheers, Steve

  13. Karsa Orlong

    Very clean, unfortunately - I reckon a dirty birthday might have been fun! Thanks for the birthday wishes :)

    Steve

  14. Karsa Orlong

    LOL, thanks Maureen - I really don't want to think about washing up liquid today. In fact, I don't ever want to do any washing up ever again ... lol!

  15. Karsa Orlong

      Bubbles! lol

  16. Karsa Orlong

    Hiya Pickle, yeah, I'm about halfway through The Leopard and it's as good as all the others so far - maybe not quite up there with The Snowman but that's always going to be difficult I reckon! It seems a lot longer than the previous books, too, but it's hard to tell on the Kindle, lol. I'm certain you'll enjoy it. Take care, Steve :)

  17. Karsa Orlong

    has just booked tix to see Rush at Sheffield, Manchester, Brum and London next May and is very excited! :)

      Green-eyed with envy. Maybe I'll get to see them in 2112. LOL

      Oh my G!! That's so cool :) I've just discovered Rush myself, I love that album of theirs that has the song Nobody's Hero.

       

      Do you know/like Blackfield? I just learnt, like 2 seconds ago, that they're going to play at this local rock festival where I live next summer. That's so awesome!! :)

       

      Aren't we lucky or what! :)

  18. Karsa Orlong

    Yeah, PT were great!

  19. Karsa Orlong

    Hey Pixie. Okay, get yourself sorted - Rush are playing UK dates in May 2011!!! Pre-sale starts tomorrow, tickets on general sale on Friday. Woo hoo!!!!

  20. Karsa Orlong

    I've got Use of Weapons sitting on the shelf. I shall bump it up my TBR pile on your recommendation :)

  21. Karsa Orlong

    Ooh, that's a tough one. I think season 4 is probably my favourite ... probably ... :)

  22. Karsa Orlong

    I'm good thanks! And you? When you're up to date we shall have to discuss - I'm not sure what to make of this season yet.

  23. Karsa Orlong

    Hi Paula :) Soooo, have you been watching season 6? I've watched the first two eps so far ...

    Steve

  24. Karsa Orlong

    Back from Porcupine Tree at the Albert Hall. Amazing! Loads of old stuff: Small Fish, Up The Downstair, The Sky Moves Sideways, Dislocated Day, Tinto Brass, Pure Narcotic ... and they finished with Arriving Somewhere and Trains!! Me happy :-)

  25. Karsa Orlong
