You’re apparently among those who prefer to neglect this material. Your choice.

Not quite I am just trying to read too many books all at the same time.

Apart from aviation and motorcycle periodicals I am also reading

The Science of Discworld 2 (Just finished part 1)

Operation Lightning Strike (a take on the X Files from a British military viewpoint, its a sort of Red Storm Rising with little green men. 🙂 )

Taliesin. (a semi historical fantasy novel involving the fabled Welsh bard and the lost continent of Atlantis)

All The Weyrs of Pern (of Anne McCaffery fame)

I have only just finnished Peter F Hamilton’s ‘Nights Dawn Trilogy’ which is a fantastic Space Saga set in the 26th century and once again written from a British viewpoint. Then I read his ‘Fallen Dragon’ novel which I have to say was even better than Nights Dawn if only because the ending was less……………….strange.

I am also in the middle of another Pratchett novel ‘Maurice and his educated rodents’ amongst others.

So my problem is one of trying to read too much at the same time
its a little habit of mine that I really must curtail. It isn’t helped by the close proximity of a little town on the Welsh border called Hay on Wye which is sometimes refered to as the second hand bookshop capital of the world. We go there at least twice a year. there is a place called ‘The pound bookshop’ because they sell new and used titles for £1 or less. The place is lethal for bookworms. My wife finds it easier, she has a photographic memory. I watched her read Raymond E Feist’s ‘The Magician’ in a matter of hours when we first met. I thought she was just speed reading but then she proceeded to quote whole paragraphs word for word from memory. Her mother reads even faster, Its a bit scary.
