Beautiful prose.
:D:

marquez is a genius, i've just finished his 'chronicle of a death foretold'

i'm currently reading 'rogue state' by william blum, and 'the palestine/israel conflict' by gregory harms is next up, apparently a very good potted history of the region.

but worth the read. jensen happens to have degrees in chemical engineering AND creative writing - which makes for very interesting theoretical propositions.

Just read Frank Skinners autobiography, which is funny and interesting. And Ian M Banks 'Look to windward' which is pretty good for that epic sci-fi type thing.
Hyde you read any of Banks' novels under the name "Ian Banks", good fiction man, the likes of "The Wasp Factory", "Whitt" and "Complicity"

If you liek Ian M Banks you'll dig his non sci-fi stuff.....
