I'm on a real Terminator kick at the moment. Finished Cold War this morning and started Trial By Fire, but it looks like the novel of Salvation comes first since it's mentioning events from the film, so that's next.

I've actually got all the Terminator books now so I'll have to decide whether to continue on or take a break with them. Cold War was really good in places but it got a bit annoying the way you were jumping from 2003 to 2029 every chapter.

ION, the onslaught of Guardian articles continues

Just started The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and it's fantastic.

I've also lined up A Thousand Pardons by Jonathan Dee, The Universe versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence and The Supremes At Earl's All-You-Can-Eat by Edward Kelsey Moore among others.

If you get a chance check out Simon Mayo's Radio 2 book club. Some good recommendations.

Just finished two more Reacher books; Tripwire and Without Fail. Both were good, particularly Without Fail.

Can reading make you smarter?

ION, I have any number of articles and comics on the go

A series of unfortunate events by Norman Baker MP

The early ones are awesome. The later ones I personally found more variable. I reread the entire series and then read Never Go Back.



Her boobs are just OTT. They are so big and fake looking, they belong on a porn star. Though I'd understand given Catwoman's background in Year One.

The Empire of the Dead comic is awesome, and Bad Ass shows a lot of promise too

Lmao, Rover Red Charlie's excellent too, from a certain Mr Ennis...

Reading a Marvel arc on Kingpin's early days, excellent so far

Reading an excellent Brubaker run on Batman (didn't even realise he'd done loads of Catwoman stuff).

Read the first issue of Utrom Empire (Ninja Turtles), that was good.

Dead Body Road seems to be the sort of thing where a new villain turns up on the final page each issue, so it would need to pick up.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion was fantastic. And not just for women. I think anyone with a geeky nature or a Big Bang Theory fan would appreciate it.

The protagonist is just like Sheldon.

Read about a novelist from over here called Adrian McKinty so I might read that in amongst everything else

Dead I Well May Be - Very good, though I don't know how many people will be able to tolerate the 'Ulsterisms' in the dialogue and way of talking. It's also a narrative, which won't help in that regard.

Just finished two more Reacher books: Persuader and The Hard Way. Both very good. Have started Gone Tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, how come you're reading them out of order?

Currently reading a Walk in the Woods. Must've read this about ten times by now.
