I'm reading 'Spider Bones' by Kathy Reichs. I love her books and would recommend them.

I love the TV show but never read her books, might do sometime.

As usual - the books are far better!

I've never seen the TV show. Reichs is a consultant on the show, but she doesn't usually write the episodes. The charcters, apart from Temperence Brennen are not in the books, and Tempe herself (in the show) is much younger.

So basically, the TV show is very different.

Terry Pratchett gets a mention in one of the books. :wink:

I'm about to try reading Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel.

Interesting to see how you get on Q, I haven't read that since I was about 10. Did you know it was adapted for the BBC by Terry Nation and Peter Cushing played Elijah Baley. The BBC of course wiped it apart from tiny fragments that still exist :roll:

I learnt that recently, and the surviving clips are on YouTube. The adaptor was Terry Nation, the creator of the Daleks, Survivors, and Blake's 7.

Peter Cushing did quite a bit of acting on TV in those days. I've seen some of his performance as Winston Smith in the BBC adaptation of Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Sounds like you need a word with Harry King (of the Golden River)! He could give you a few pointers as to contracts and agreements! :lol:

Just finished another Kelley Armstrong, Men of the Otherworld. It chronicles the troubles in a werewolf pack over a few decades. It's the 9th in the series, I've just moved on to the 10th, Living with the Dead.

I remember that :wink:

Is Spider Bones any good Tony? Must add it to the long list of books I need to acquire.
