Judge Dredd was large part of my teenage years.

And mine, right from Prog #2 of 2000AD - never did get a copy of "Prog 1"... I once had a letter printed in the 2000AD annual...

Trouble with those they're pdf, which render rubbish on Kindle.

twice??
If you could be arsed looking beyond the name, you'd find they're also in epub format.

I think I started around 160. Certainly The Stainless Steel Rat Saves the World was one of the early ones I read. Possibly it's what attracted me the first place.

Fair point. Well presented.

Next: "One step from Earth" by Harry Harrison. Matter transfer. And the last story is the one where homo sap is replaced by a species with 12 fingers. Another story that's stayed with me for decades. A bit like the book.

Done: off to Oxfam with it.

Next: "Doctor Who: the complete (as of 2013) guide fully revised & updated" by Mark Campbell.

Feck me I've forgotten 93.5% of this.

Purchased (remaindered) 13th of July 2013. Obviously worth every penny of the £2.99 I paid for it. .

Woops. Wrong thread. How did I open book reading thing?

Done: off to Oxfam with it. I hope they'll be grateful. . Next: "Silverview" by John Le Carre. The, by then, rather late John Le Carre.

Next: "Silverview" by John Le Carre. The, by then, rather late John Le Carre.

Done: rather enjoyable, the shortest book he'd written in half a century.

Next: "The Tailor of Panama" by John Le Carre. Two and a half times the length of the above. We'll see if it stalls in the middle.

Update: it stalled 100 pages in. Ho hum. 31st may. Still stalled 19th June. Ho hum. Still stalled 7/7/25.

Unstalled a bit: page 171 8/7/25.

Still stalled 13/7/25. Endlessly meh.

Still still stalled 20/8/25. I wonder if it will unstall at some point. I must say that apart from the Smiley/Peter Guillam book, these later offerings don't really float my boat, though "Silverview" was pretty good in its way. Not that I can remember much about it of course.

Still stalled 3/9/25. I'll have forgotten most of it by the time it unstalls, assuming that ever happens.

I made it as far as page 94, then Private Eye got in the way.

In the meantime, I've also read the "Getting Started" guide, which was only 17 pages to charge the battery and take one photo.
Page 79-96 - I need to go through those again as they are about calibrating the camera to my eye, so that the camera focuses where I look.
Just over 1000 pages to go
