 Re: Recently read books I'm going down to the library tomorrow - see if I can find it.  Given that it's SF and English chances are slim and I'll have to order them tho.

Re: Recently read books cool. To me, they read like you describe Blood Music. Kinda grips you and refuses to let you go.

Re: Recently read books *casts a spell of resurrection"
Ah right, the books of song of fire and ice are still on my 'to read' list.
Just got back from the library with my oldest son, picking up some kid books to read to him.
Also picked up 1984, about time i start reading some classics i guess.
(In english btw, maybe i can improve my vocabulary or at least pick up some valid expressions instead of literally translating belgian ones.)

Re: Recently read books haha, grats. That's a good book...and makes excellent reading for children.  I'm currently reading a collection of HP Lovecraft. It's good stuff, especially since I don't like horror typically.

Re: Recently read books About 20 tonnes of HeLa cells are currently 'alive' all over the world. Henrietta Lacks may be dead, but in cell mass she is a living juggernaut.

Re: Recently read books It'd be cool if the massive number of cells allowed me to maintain consciousness... and if consciousness expanded with the quantity.
HeLa skynet rules all.

Re: Recently read books I'm currently re-reading the Inheritance cycle (i.e. the Eragon books) as the fourth and final part is out in November. It really is a fantastic series and a very rich world. Don't be put off by the poor film or the old slatings of "he was 15 when he wrote Eragon? It must be shit then."
