I've just started "The Truth"

[Dotsie]

It was the first Moore I read. For me I guess it had a similar effect as reading Thief of Time--the first randomly selected book of a prolific author, said book happening to be a more or less standalone book compared to the author's more established series. Maybe I liked it as much as I did because it was the first book of his I read, same as I did TOT.

Now you mention it, Island of the Sequinned Love Nun was my first Moore. So that might be it.

I'm now half way through The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks, which I'm finding engrossing. Quite a strange book, but it works because it has it's own crazy internal logic.

Both awful and fascinating. Strange, definitely.

That book will make you fret, or possibly, Fred.

Lamb is by far my favourite, I have to order myself another (fourth) copy as I lend them out and never see them again. I enjoyed Fool for its in your face attitude. Not so keen on Sequined Love Nun or Dirty Job. Practical Demonkeeping was good. Only a few of his I haven't read yet.

Currently trying to work my way through Charles Stross' Atrocity Archives, its slow going as I'm not a big fan if the subject matter and the second one awaits me. Had it on the go since the new year and not touched it since really.

I've just read my first ian fleming bond book, thunderball and yeah, it was ok

currently reading from first to last, the second omnibus of damon runyon stories. i think i mentioned the first, on broadway a while back. really i can't recommend his work enough. i feel a resonance with pratchetts work - a sort of innocent cynicism of his characters, -

I've just finished 'The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared'. It's lovely and funny

I'm reading that too at the moment! I really like it, only had to get used to the style of humour at first

I bought that for my kindle a few weeks back on a whim, thought it looked interesting.

I've just read the first volume of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. If you think Yu-Gi-Oh! is only about card games, think again. We have curses ranging from permanently pixelated vision to an overloud heartbeat, and bizarre and deadly games ranging from a contest using a knife, banknotes, and the back of one's hand, to a form of table hockey played on a hot grill with an ice puck filled with an explosive test-tube. I wish I was making this up. And the games in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga are very much the 'do not try this at home' variety. It's dark, and a bit weird, but pretty good, surprisingly so.
