New Books...
I am in fact, refering to Chris Turner's new book "Planet Simpson", which jumped out at me at Borders, and forced to purchase it after reading the above, and a few other amusing, and thought provoking paragraphs.
Other books that found there way into my Christmas period reading list were:
- Abarat - Days of Magic, Nights of War by Clive Barker
- Out by Natsuo Kirino
- Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Perlman
- The Runes of the Earth ( The Last Chronicle of Thomas Covenant, Book 1 ) by Stephen Donaldson
- Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
- Going Postal by Terry Pratchett
- Past Mortem by Ben Elton
- Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow
- A Place So Foreign and Eight More by Cory Doctorow
- System of the World by Neal Stephenson
- Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke
I'm really hoping I don't receive one of these books from Kim's Christmas book swap project, but if I do, I can always pass the present onto someone else... My book was sent off last week, although I've heard confirmation of its receipt, nor has the book sent to me arrived yet, heres hoping everythings posted fine...
Um ... WOW.
I didn't know that Donaldson was writing a third chronicle. I read those books when I was eight or nine.
I'll be buying this ASAP.
Cheers man,

Hey biv, not sure when I'll even be getting around to reading it thou - all
the rest are higher in the order, and I'm not even sure if I read all three
of the 2nd chronicles yet ( I do have them thou ).
