Just finished reading Day of the Triffids. Pretty good. I was very surprised it was written a mere 5 years after WW2, London seemed pretty well recovered by then. Pretty interesting snapshot at attitudes towards women back then.

Serious? I listened to the audiobook on Sunday night when I got home from Bloc!

Did we talk about it or something?!

No, not at all! At least not that I remember anyway.

Great minds...

I'd recommend the Game of Thrones series. But, at the rate it's going, it'll never get finished. The Chronicles of Narnia are, of course, a classic.

I've also enjoyed Roger Zelazny's Amber series. You can get that as a collection in the Chronicles of Amber in the Fantasy Masterworks series.

I read Neuromancer a couple months ago, and really enjoyed it. Love Philip K. Dick aswell! I read Ubik and The Man In The High Castle around the same period. Been meaning to read Valis triology but no time atm. Never usually read fiction, but can't deny the cyberpunk material!
