      <description><![CDATA[One Hit Wonderland was pretty good although I think Round Ireland with a Fridge was better. Also, it kind of inspired Dave and Ireland to go round Ireland on a bike (except he cheated and caught the train some of the way).

I'm currently reading 'Scheme for Full Employment' by Magnus Mills. A bit weird like his other stuff but good nonetheless.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Speaking of books, I'm just reading a piece of comic fantasy called &quot;Wizard's Brew&quot; by Colin Fox, which I picked up for a song in a second hand bookshop.  I had never heard of the author but I can well recommend it so far; some of the humour is almost Ffordian (wait till you meet Comrades Flopnik, Mopnik and Cottonskovitski, the rabbit freedom fighters... and who is the sinister Comrade Petrov?)

If it carries on being as good as this, I'll post a mini-review here.  It's the first time I've come across anything that's even remotely like the Nextian universe, and on those grounds I suspect the rest of you may enjoy it too.

      <description><![CDATA[Ooh, Asimov... he wrote some wonderful plots.  It's just a shame he wasn't quite so good at writing believable female characters, but after all he was better at that than Piers Anthony (another writer I thoroughly like in most other respects).

By the way, is this a contender for the Longest Thread Contest? ;-)

      <description><![CDATA[Doobie doo...I was at my favourite second hand bookshop at lunchtime today, celebrating because I got a 30 hour contract and don't have to find another part time job which I'd hate (procrastination works! i should have found one months ago!), and it had a 30% off sale. Which I didn't actually discover till I got to the &quot;till&quot; (er, old desk covered in books with man behind it.) So now I'm going to go to the new bookshop on the way home.

But anyway, I bought:

A Series of Unfortunate Events 1,2 and 3 - Lemony Snicket
I've skimmed one of them in a shop before and it looked fun. I like kid's fantasy.

The Book of Lost Tales 2 - Christopher Tolkien
My brother who doesn't read has just read the Silmarillion, so I feel I should read it soon too. So I bought this for when I get Tolkien-obsessed again, which is fairly inevitable.

Pot Planet - Adventures in Global Marijuana Culture
Er... what it says, I presume. 'Sgot a quote by Howard Marks on the front.

One Hit Wonderland - Tony Hawks.
I like skateboarding. Oh, hang on, that's wrong. Well, the one about the fridge was good.

Black and Blue - Ian Rankin
I'm collecting the Rebus books, having read them all from the library before I won't pay full price

Foundation and Earth &amp; The Caves of Steel - Isaac Asimov
Classic scifi... Caves of Steel is a Daneel one, and they're particularly fab.

And all for a measly £12.80. Hurrah!]]></description>

This year I've visited Bedford, Wymondham and Manchester. Gee whizz

      <description><![CDATA[Sarah, I wish your sig didn't have a reference to chocolate. I'm starting to get peckish and I need to cut down on the sweet stuff.

Now either Ed promised to phone me at 9 and forgot, or I was meant to phone him at 9. Going to log off for a bit and phone Sheffield. (especially as I phoned Annie earlier and got a juicy bit of gossip about a married couple splitting up while I've been away. It looked like happening last year but things seemed to calm down, so surprised, but not surprised, if you see what I mean)]]></description>
