  1. Thank you all, that's why I love this forum, you're such a lovely bunch of people
  2. Very cool!!
  3. That's amazing, a great surprise! The Wife and I (that still sounds weird) got Kindles as a wedding present, enjoying browsing for books! Will be great for our honeymoon
  4. I love getting a box of books! That one sounds particularly amazing
  5. It has being completely unreal! Thanks all, I shall pass your compliments to the wife
  6. Yay glad you had a good time Kell, also had some wedding fun...
  7. Only 1 left now... The Wind through the Keyhole. I also don't have a kindle yet so can't get the couple of e-books he has done. It doesn't match my other editions i'm afraid, those were all released in 2007 and all his books since then haven't matched Also The Green Mile and the Dark Tower series weren't released in the same editions. I only need two more of them though, Rose Madder and Hearts in Atlantis, which I have in other editions but that won't do at all lol.
  8. Read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams. Crazy but great fun.
  9. Went to the market yesterday and treated myself to a few books. It was 'buy one get one free' so you can't say I had much choice in the matter... 11.22.63 by Stephen King Lyonesse By Jack Vance Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov Imajica by Clive Barker not bad for £7
  10. funnily enough I am going on holiday next week and will probably only take two books. Most likely: Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. (wanted to read for ages) Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance. (I've made a start on it and want to power through).
  11. a bit more effort but it's worth it.
  12. With King there is always more lol. But certainly not many.
  13. Thank you I will post some wedding pics when we get them. I will certainly keep my fingers crossed for you two!
  14. You could say i'm a fan In fact bought another one today It is always organised as I am that sort of person... but these shelves are not at my main residence so they don't get a lot of attention. Can't wait til I have enough space to put them altogether.
  15. Now I have figured out how to post pics, here are mine. Most of them anyway...
  16. The Breach sounds quite interesting, from the reviews it looks like a decent thriller/sci-fi. Be interesting to see what you make of it. I also laughed at Lee's profile...
  17. Graduated yesterday! Was a brilliant day with the folks and fiancé. The sun managed to come out a bit and the ceremony wasn't too boring, hehe. Here's a picture of me all suited up. Also had my wedding rehearsal today, not long now!
  18. I should have known you two were on first name basis
  19. Went to see The Amazing Spider-man at the Imax today. Great film, very enjoyable. 3D was brilliant, but it is still a little too early for a reboot in my opinion.
  20. Finished the 4th Belgariad Book by David Eddings, absolutely brilliant! also read Snuff by Chuck Palahniuk which was hilarious as always. Went shopping in London today and picked up Songs of the Dying Earth which is a collection of short stories, inspired by Jack Vance's Dying Earth, written by various authors including George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Tad Williams, Dan Simmons. The copy is also Signed by George R.R. Martin which is pretty cool! Also got The Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson.
  21. Castle of Wizardry - David Eddings The Epic quest continues in the forth instalment of David Edding's The Belgariad. This book is the longest so far and serves as a bridge between two sections of the quest. The initial quest to reclaim the Orb of Aldur and the final battle against the evil God Torak. As such the story is a little thin but this does not effect the quality of the book whatsoever, it focuses more on the development of the two youngest and most important characters: Garion and Princess Ce'Nedra. They certainly develop a long way! Garion grows up a lot and finally excepts and embraces his destiny and Ce'Nedra puts petty affairs aside to aid Garion. Despite a couple of weeks gaps between reading each instalment, they never fail to draw me in within the first few pages. Simply put this is another brilliant book in a brilliant series that sets up for the final instalment expertly, which promises to be amazing. Simply cannot wait to read it. Overall 9/10
  22. Half way through the 4th Belgariad Book and really enjoying it! Also started the 1st volume of The Books of Blood by Clive Barker and Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance. I have given up on Banquet for the Damned after 150 pages as I just couldn't get in to it, I might give it another go next week but we'll see.
  23. Great review Steve, Killing Floor has been on my TBR pile for a while now, but like you I don't read many thrillers.
  24. Nazis at the Centre of the Earth... as brilliant as it sounds, made on a shoe-string budget the CGI and acting was hilarious. Loved it!
