    The Heart of Cohomology, by Goro Kato - Looks scary, and probably is towards the end, but is mercifully short and I've struggled to about page 30 and so far hasn't been as bad as I feared. Helps to know a bit of category theory and abstract algebra to start with though.

    Empire of Dragons, by Valerio M Manfredi - A group of Roman soldiers in the 3rd century AD are captured by Persians, escape and travel through India and China. I've read most of his books, and they're brilliant, especially the journeys (altough sometimes the endings are a slight anticlimax).

      Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

          Brown Issue posed : Just started the latest Warhammer 40K rule book
          Which army do you play ? Pts values ? Painted ?
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          C.S. Lewis

            Might have to pick up one of those at the weekend - we're just using the condensed version from the "Battle for Macragge" at the moment.
            Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

              Have just finished The Cobra Event by Richard Preston.

              Very good indeed.

              Nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational signature about being a winner.

                I bought it for the pictures. And the fluff, if that's any defence.

                    Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn(sp?).

                    Very good - but oddly prescient, given our current governments' actions.

                      I've got that on my bookshelf, but never got round to reading it. I might give it a go next.
