Some (Admittedly Late) Summer Reading (etc.)

Recently, after finding myself with rather more booktokens than I would usually know what to do with, I’ve been reading quite a few books recently- and thought that I’d post my latest reading list here:

  1. Battle royale by Koushun Takami. While graphically violent, it definitely served the plot very well and proved to be a most excellent and gripping novel and was impossible to put down- the dystopian backstory certainly adds to the plot.
  2. Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K. Dick, a true science-fiction masterwork; and definitely a story with several more reads in it for me. I also purchased Dr. Bloodmoney- but have misplaced that when coming back from Cornwall.
  3. Python in a Nutshell from the O’Reilly press; a very fast paced book about python which Timothéus picked up for me at GUADEC for a happily reduced price.
  4. Not strictly reading, but for some music I wholeheartedly recommend Peter Gabriel’s 3, 4 and Still Growing Up Live (DVD).

    I have read the books above and i found them to be appaulingly written and too short. If your are goning to write a book , make it big enough to hold ! . Also all there covers are rubbish, i could have done better on paint. Apart form that they are ok.
