Welcome to the blog, my place of reflection, of thoughts, well actually at times of rambles and musings really. I've done a blog off and on for a number of years but it's always been separate from my main site until now. Finally I get to fully integrate everything in one place and it's really quite exciting.
I make no promises of revelations or incredible insight, no certainty that things will make sense or even be spelled correctly for that matter. I can guarantee that they are all my own thoughts (as far as I'm aware) and I will do my best to not besmirch anyone (well not too much) and not to just blog for no apparent reason other than of course i want to get something off my chest or it amuses me.... it may even from time to time amuse you, hey and if it does you can comment on the site and / or on facebook or any number of places... go one, you know you want to read more....
Well I finished my 3rd Sam Bourne book last night, it again wasn't bad. It wasn't as good at the 1st one but then it wasn't bad either, it couldn't have been as I got through it in around 3 weeks.. possibly a little less.
So, now, I'm back at being bookless. I can't reread books, which is strange as I can watch the same movie over and over again. So that means it's off to Borders books tomorrow in search of the next one.
Finding the right book for me is a little challenging at times, I do like Sci Fi, I like good twisting turning thrillers, especially if they have a background in folk lore or religious belief, although not that struck on Dan Brown. So any suggestions are very welcome!
Having been on a bit of a search round the net I've just discovered that
Iain Banks (or in my case Iain M Banks - the M signifying he's written a Sci Fi novel) has a new one out, and it's a Culture Novel which is great. I'm a massive Iain M Banks fan I have to say and it's not just cos he's Scottish (He's from Fife!). It's all thanks to my mate Grant who about 10 years ago while on holiday in Jamaica and waiting for the storm to pass he handed me 'Player of Games' which is a fantastic read and I was hooked. I've now, over the years read all of his M Banks books, mainly on holidays or long flights I have to confess. I have found pretty much found them all really good, with perhaps the exception of Consider Phlebas which was a bit hard going but got there in the end.
So... tomorrow, it's a trip to Borders (which I love spending hrs in I have to say) and search for 'Matter'.
