Computer Law by Bainbridge is both tedious and unrewarding.

i've read some bernard cornwell, very good.michael connolly is my favourite at the minute, i've read most of his books, i wouldn't recommend 'chasing the dime' however.

if you like a good yarn wilbur smith is great, though not very PC.

Watch out! Some people may be drawn to Computer Ethics by Johnson because of the interesting cover showing people in suits enjoying meetings...but don't be fooled, the book leads the reader into a moribund state.

[Thracian]

Depends entirely on my mood.

The Prophet ----Kahlil Gilbran

In God's Name - David Yallop

Almost anything by Clive Cussler, Wilbur Smith, Nelson Demille, Jeffrey Archer.

Anything to do with history: History of the Third Reich, Wild Swans - Jung Chang etc.

Presently reading about the history of Clan McDonald

I love books and my sister has probably the biggest collection of books you've ever seen in a small house.

[Daggers]

This, on the other hand, is essential reading for anyone with a soul.

[The People's Hero]

Books rob me of all of my spare time left after work, my girlfriend, friends, my charity and this place.

[Filbert_Ross]

the best book ive ever read, any football fan should read it, is 'a season with Verona' by Tim Parks

currently reading 'Cosa Nostra' - a history of the sicilian mafia. very interesting.

[The People's Hero]

I'm currently reading up on Greek Mythology. Started as I play for a quiz team and my interest in it was aroused. Still awful at it in quizzes as I find the names difficult to remember.

Interesting though.

My next book will be one on wildlife which I've recently suddenly become very interested in.

What's so great about myths? They just fly around street lights until they die...

[Louise]

I'm currently being put to sleep by 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert, re-reading 'The Lovely Bones' by Alive Sebold, dipping into 'The Prelude' by William Wordsworth and forcing myself through 'The Law of Defamation and the Internet' by Matthew Collins. Yay.

'The Law of Defamation and the Internet' by Matthew Collins

Wow, now that sounds racey! I'm gpoing to search Amazon now!

Madame Bovary? Pfft!

[Rincewind]

Right. Recently read Monstrous Regiment - Terry Pratchett that I had for my birthday in the Lake District (got his next two due at Xmas) Literary Drinkers - Pete Bunten (more of a booklet listing famous writers who liked the odd pint or 3) and at the moment reading Beer and Britannia An Inebriated History of Britain by Peter Haydon. All classics of their genre.

"The Hero With A Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell

A close examination of myths throughout the entire world and a look at the well-known theory of the "Hero's Journey".

[Thracian]

Just finishing Cathedral by Nelson Demille. Interesting insight into the IRA. Terrific read.

[The People's Hero]

I've just read (in about an hour) the Ricky Gervais/Steve Marchant/Karl Pilkington thing. Fairly amusing. Lighthearted holiday stuff.
