The band takes me out many evenings, so in truth there is little time for reading.
The last book I read was in France. Richard Hammond's autobiography.
The next book I will read will probably be the new Stephen King. People are snotty about him, but I think he writes some fantastic descriptive prose.
Or I will pick up on one of the various cigar-related books recommended by guys on here over the last few weeks.
I've been told the Rik Mayall autobiography is a bloody good laugh, so I will pick that up one day.Last edited by Robusto; 18-10-2008, 11:29 AM.

The Watchmen, the only graphic novel in the top 100 times list of must reads, thought i'd give it a go, not bad!
Think - a book about thinking, bit deep for me, does my head thinking about some of the stuff in it, but interesting, lots of philosophy in it.
The Man in the High Castle, Philip K Dick - only about 20 pages in, again interesting.
I tend to have about 4 books on the go at once.
Finished Cell by Stephen King not long back, enjoyed that, back to the old Stephen King stuff.
One of my favourite books when i was a bit younger was King Rat by James Clavell, couldn't put that one done, i'm going to read it again to see if it was as good as i remember.
Don't do autobiography books out of principle, in the UK the average author/writer will earn less than ?10,000 per annum (ithinks it about ?7000, if you take all the celebrity autos away), so it galls me that some no mark 'celebrity will get a 6 figure sum just to get a ghost writer to write their 'story' ffs.
anyways i'll stop ranting.

Hmmm well one is a look at the decline of Society and the failure of the democratic system but from a slightly humourous standpoint.
The Trilogy is about Earth being born from a seed ship from tens of thousands of years ago and our re-integration into the human Empire. Such delights as off world records showing the the ships captain was names Abraham and the lead Bioengineer was named Alha (may have to change these though to get published).
The third is a screenplay which I really really want to talk about but can't until it's more fleshed out.
We will see though, i'm a) not a great writer b) lazy and c) prone to very erratic thoughts.Sent from my Ouija Board.
