Science and Method, by Henri Poincare.

Books recently finished :

Prospero Burns. A great Abnett book, won't win over anyone who doesn't like his style -- this one is quite like "legion" IMO -- but I found it very satisfying and intriguing.

I do think though the way it and Prospero Burns were sold or talked about was grossly misleading, almost criminally so perhaps.

God King was very good, best in that series, each book getting better as we went along. ..

... looks like we will be getting more, perhaps another series even, about Sigmar. I'm reasonably happy about that, but there's other areas I'd rather see them push into and explore a bit methinks.

Finished off Cornwell's warlord trilogy ( his sortof historic version of the King Arthur story) and, I'm not too ashamed to say, my eyes were a little moist at the end. Superb. I dipped into some of the Sharpe books years ago and wasn't too taken with them... but I think that might be age and period related perhaps. This series I loved though, it's vying with Lawheads' set of books as my favourite take on the story. I cannot recommend it enough.

It persuaded me to set off yesterday and buy his Uhtred series -- bless Waterstones and their 3 for 2 offers.

Recently finished books:

The first Heretic
Fate of the Jedi: Vortex

Now reading:
Dead men walking, followed by God King

Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley

Sharpe's Waterloo. Only this and Sharpe's Devil and I'm done!

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.

Wolf guy - Ookami no monshou

18+ manga, and even that may be a little mildly put. (not hentai mind you)

Redemption corps by someone.

This Boy's Life for my English class.

Its safe to say the only book I really enjoyed so far was The Great Gatsby.

I got the Last Chancers novels from a friend because he owed me. So I'm half though the second book after a few hours in the train and bus.

I'm reading Things Fall Apart. Its OK, but I don't usually read actual novels, just Manga and Reference/Non Fiction books.

The Inquisition War Trilogy & Hitlers Willing Executioners - ordinary Germans and The Holocaust.

I need to hit the sales and pick up some lighter reading.

I'm reading Classics Mutilated which is surprisingly good. It's a collection of short stories done in the whole "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" style, but I think they work better as short stories since the joke in each one doesn't have time to get stale. Anne-Droid of Green Gables... Little Women in Black... You get the picture.

I'm also reading Prospero Burns. It's not bad!

Catch 22 again. Good book.

I am currently reading bram Stoker's Dracula on my Kindle. Ace! Plus The Founding by Dan Abnett, good story but not so ace.

I am now reading the Brunner omni. I now remember what I didn't like about C. L. Werner. He uses the same phrase for describing something the second, third, and sometimes forth time it is mentioned. Oh well.

The Dust Tactics rulebook, again.

just finished Kill the Dead-a sandman slim novel

Just finished The Lost omnibus.

About half way through the Eisenhorn omnibus and a book called Well DUH, about stupid things people have done. Cool nuggets of info, just, not really my style.

It is a bathroom reading kinda book, just... not as entertaining as Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.

After Eisenhorn, I might take a break from the Black Library and get back to finishing some of the Clancy novels. I have a nice collection (mostly free), and I want to finish it off, which means picking up some of the newer and missing books.

The big sleep
Redemtion corps
started another book where I can't seem to remember the name of, and started a french book we have to read for school over the holidays. *grumble*

Just finised Tales of Heresy: loved it.

Currently reading stuff from the New Jedi Order (Yuuzhan Vong War). Also going through the Graphic Novels for Battle Vixens (Ikki Tousen).

I'm hoping to finish up the NJO series soon because I purchased a ton of Black Library stuff that I'm just itching to read (omnibi are my friends).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_Song_(novel) -- spoilers there. A cracking read from a fine series.

Propsero Burns - half way through and much like Legion, pretty much bugger all happens, not much burning or propsero

I'm Reading Dead Men Walking by Steve Lyons, really enjoying it so far!

Just read 2001: A Space Odyssey for the fourth time. (AS you can see by my avatar and sig, I am obsessed with this book)

I'm reading The Complete Sherlock Holmes. Obviously, it's an omnibus type thing, and I just finished "A Study in Scarlet" (The first Holmes Novel/story) and am amused by how it portrays Mormons.

Not really a book, but I'm working my way through the Lucifer graphic novels, I'm on my third one and its been really good so far.

How does it portray Mormons?

As a cult-like Religion of Evil with Brigham Young being the villain of the piece
