He ....borrows..... it from a Harlequin. The built in Domino field comes in handy on occasion.
Atlas Infernal was great.
Some great ideas and concepts thrown around. Dug the Atlas concept especially.

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Hoo boy, here's my reading load:
-The Girl Who Played With Fire, for some mindless summer brain-trash that's fun,
-I Am America (And So Can You!), for more silly nonsense,
-America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, for an education in civics with plenty of humor,
-The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, for some AWESOME post-apoc fiction that's great for english class discussions, and
-The Left Hand of Darkness, for similar reasons.
Those last two on the list have won many awards, and I suggest them to anyone.
The Forgotten Highlander. About a Scottish soldiers experiences at the hands of the Japanese, really good and brutal at what our lads went through, then had to sign something when they were free saying that they werent allowed to talk about what they suffered. Its really making me hate the japanese, they still dont educate there kids on what their imperial army done to people, they got off free while the Nazis are the evil bad guys of today. They are about equal in my mind. Ok need to calm down haha.
Oh btw I dont really hate japanese, is a place I want to go visit, just angry at their governments complete denial at their actios during the war.
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Just finished "Flowers for Algernon". Very moving.
Now reading "non-stop" by Brian Aldiss. Not the best in Gollancz' SF masterworks series, though all the others have so far been well worth it.
Next in line: The Demolished Man, by Alfred Bester.

Going through my annual re-read of Frank Herbert's Dune. Also working through Firedrake by Nick Kyme and The Valley of Fear by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Oh, and starting the Kay Scarpetta series again with Post Mortem by Patricia Cornwell.
Just finished Nemesis (HH) and picked up the 13th book in the Wheel of Time Saga... Towers of Midnight...
Hopefully, I will have them finished by the time the 14th is released

Walking to shops, "i'll take a short cut through this bush", random encounter! Lizard with no legs.....
I kid Since i avoid bushlands that is But we're not that bad... are we?
Just finished ''The Wise Man's Fear'' by Patrick Rothfuss it's an interesting read with a good story line, but the previous title is needed to understand what on earth is going on (''The Name Of The Wind'')
I'm now finally getting round to reading George Orwell's ''1984'' ,finally, having read his animal farm in first year of secondary school! With that said his work is doubleplusgood IMO.
I just finished reading the Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, which was stonkingly good, and now I'm moving onto the sequel, Red Seas Under Red Skies.

Loved all of Dan Abnett's other books, had to get in on this one...
Just finished "Double Eagle" and "Blood Pact" as well, both are on my list of awesome BL books...
Can i ask WARORK, is this the first (and/or last of these that Abnett did?), ive looked into getting it in the past but i never got a definitive answer (and i hate reading books out of sequence these days).
Thanks in advance.
