    'tis horrifying in places certainly. there were bits on massive radical surgery that made me squeam but it is also bizarre, dramatic and rarely less than fascinating. amazing how little was known about how cancers actually work up until very, very recently. a recommended read.

        Currently going through "It's your time you're wasting" by Frank Chalk.
        A humourous indictment of modern inner-city comprehensive schooling. Would be funnier if it were not so true.

          Inspired by the thread about comp sci graduates, this just landed on my doorstep:

          Introduction to the Theory of Computation: Amazon.co.uk: Michael Sipser: 9780619217648: Books
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Started on Dance of Dragons by George R.R. Martin. The book weighs a ton!

              Currently reading some horror stories on Kindle. Pretty crap, I like proper supernatural horror stories with ghosts and demons, not the violent gore fest sort. But having got it for Christmas I just downloaded various cheap things at random.

              PS The best ever, ever, ever fiction will be out on Kindle shortly. Just checking it through now.

                  David Copperfield. Been reading it for ages and still only 1/4 of the way through... one thing with e-books is you don't get the same impression about how long a book is by picking it up

                  Liking it a lot.

                    Charles Dickens was the social commentator of his time. Unfortunately society at the time just thought he wrote exceedingly good stories.
