Finished listening to the Siege of Khartoum....Thought it wasn't too bad at all.
Now on to 'The Quarry' by Ian Banks.

The 'hero' is portrayed as a tad 'strange' (very 'hyper')....But done sympathetically.....Quite enjoying it...Even though he admits to playing the EE's games on his computer early on in the story.

Just finished Thunder in May and following it with Seelowe Nord both by Andy Johnson, I'm trying to get my early WWII mojo back!!

"Arena" by Simon Scarrow and T. J. Andrews. A prequel to the Macro and Cato series.

Having been initiated into Robert Fabbri's Vespasian series I've just had to read all the rest of them. Finished Rome's Tribune, No 1, and now halfway through Rome's Executioner, No 2, I'm well immersed.

My father dropped off three of the Vespasian series last time he was here. Looking forward to reading them.

Andrzej Sapkowski's "Time of Contempt" (part of the Witcher series) up next though, after Arena.

Wading through the entire Terry Pratchett Discworld novels, a cracking read.

I am re reading Thief of Time as I type

'Soldier Sahibs'; interesting history of the Sikh Wars and the Young Men on the North-West Frontier around the middle of the 19th century.
Lots of interesting personal accounts though slightly confusing with all of the characters, functions and positions that keep whirling around. Some decent maps throughout the book would have been nice too! Really hate having to look up that one map everytime and then find out that the town or pass mentioned in the text is not on it... Sad

Ah well, I'll get used to it... someday...


Drives me nuts; maps with no N-S axis, no scale and half the places mentioned in the text omitted, grrrrrrrrrr

Really ?

Do you have issue 603?, the one with the Double converse bogie controversy?

[fsn]

Excuse me. I think you'll find that under Section 6, Sub Section 4, Paragraph 3c of the "Pendraken Forum, Purchasers and Members Commentary", (version 6, with annotated maps and glossary) it clearly states that "Any that mention M____ R_______ in anything except a lampooning, derogatory or humorous purpose or as a matter of ridicule, shall fall forfeit as befits and amuses the Slightly Soiled Lord (now the Dark Lord) in whatever mood he shall be when presented with the accusation."

You two are in trouble!

You two are in trouble!

Is that in a pretending to post as somebody else even after Aprils Fools day is over and being called an oik and being put in the 'Very Extra Special, just wait till I get to you' black book sort of trouble?

[fsn]

Well, I don't want to be the only one outside the headmaster's office.

It HAS gone in to the very Special Black Book reserved especially for extremely naughty boys.
It may seem a trifle harsh, but Matt has gone into the 'normal' black book for laughing.
Discipline must be maintained.
