A number of his novels can be read alone without much trouble. I'd still say the best arise from the early stuff- Patriot Games (which the movie is surprisingly loyal to), Clear and Present Danger (which is totally different to the movie), Hunt for Red October and Cardinal of the Kremlin...

Well, finished life of Pi this morning, and to be honest, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Granted a book exploring 'spirtual' concepts means different things to different people by its very nature, but personally I've seen these concepts discussed before, and they're not presented in...

Well, I'm only a few chapters in (so forgive me for not reading the previous posts in this discussion yet), but it's been fun so far. I'm still deciding whether this constitutes a 'story' or a load of philosophical asides bundled together (kind of like the way I was thinking when reading 'Tao of...

I thought I'd heard of this book somewhere I posted on it about a yr ago on another forum: I later got these replies: Lemme know what you lot think- now I'm thinking of giving it another chance

Well Red Dragon had a lame ending IMHO. Moving onto Phil Rickman's Wine of Angels. Not read anything of Rickman's work before, though he's touted as quite an impressive new horror/mystery writer. Tears are the Wine of Angels... the best... to quench the devil's fires

I was going to start 'Against a Dark Background' before I realised I'm not really in a SF mood anymore. Almost finished Thomas Harris' Red Dragon. So far it's been pretty good. The author manages to set a se7en-like tone without waffling. He does spend a bit too long trying to explain how the...

Wasn't me gov

I too profess to playing the 2nd edition of the game. What you missed out on phil by just playing the computer RPGS was the cameraderie around the table, the pointless discussions, the paper and food fights etc - wait that's what you've got here ;)

lemme see The 2 I'd say off the top of my head have already been taken. I've got a few weekly online sf magazines on my links list- not the best reviews, but worth having a look at to keep abreast of developments: http://www.scifi.com/sfw/ http://www.strangehorizons.com/...

Well I've finished 'More than Human' which was fairly deep with regards to messages it conveys, and expects you to put a lot into it in order to get something meaningful out of it due to a more abstract style of storytelling than I'm used to (not exactly light reading). That said, it was pretty...

Ah, the old femme fatale routine. :) Be wary RaVeN, Ell'll make you take the fall for her. Crash and burn!

Well, you're in the wrong thread to ask questions ;) We need you to solve the case, so get your magnifying glass out :D

Ahem! Why are you risking everything on such a mad sceme?

Ah, everything becomes clear I was wondering why the Wabbit had posted up the rules: http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=1591 http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=1592 At first I thought it was random fun, but now it seems clear that there was obviously a method...

Is ashlea trying to throw us off the scent? Incidentally, I seem to be having more fun with this thread than the aforementioned missing threads We need the Dutch dude

I should have added Martin, hacker extraordinare to the list

Ok, let's compile a list of suspects. Well it could be any of the people on the Member's list (see above), but that's far too many people to set the monkeys on :cool: Now who has the means to supress all evidence of the thread in question? Clicking the forum leaders...

Martin, please define middle-age

Well, if you need any more nostalgia trips let us know :D
