What book are you reading right now?

Posted by: Chillkram on 23 May 2010

I thought I'd revive this classic old thread as I couldn't find the original.

I am currently reading Suetonius, 'The Twelve Caesars'.

How about you?

Hi Steve -

Was in Duluth last week. Pretty amazing how early the ice was off the lake this year.

FYI, there's lots of good video footage of traffic in and out of the harbor at duluthharborcam dot com.

Ah yes, life is not easy up on da' range....

Cheers!

I don't read as much these says. I did listen to Stonemouth and really enjoyed it.

Listening to Jo Nesbo's Phantom atm - enjoyable.

If you find yourself sleeping too easily at night, give this a try.

Personally I'm never coming out of my hyperspatial bunker again.

Should be absolute reading in schools to show why people need to take a stand against injustice: Even if they may think it's hopeless.

IIRC, the first edition was so bad all the contributors asked NOT to be credited LOL!

Aha, I've wondered about Victoria Bamton's Lightroom book. I seem to get on OK with Lightroom but others swear by that book...Worth having?

I can't see his name mentioned.

I bought it for £2 in my local charity shop.

Its the LP size thick paperback.

You can buy the hard back from amazon SH inc post for under £3 inc post now though.

Its a good flick through read but missing lots of good Prog.

Stu.

Why "just kidding"? I like Iain M. Banks' stuff.
