Re: What are you reading?
Only a 17" TFT? Never mind.
I'm reading "The Supernaturalist" by Eoin Colfer. Very different to the Artemis Fowl books. An orphan from a future orphanage which specialise in medical testing escapes death and the orphanage only to find he can see blue creatures who are feeding on the life force of the injured and dying is told he is a "spotter" by a group (called the supernaturalists) who go round killing the blue creatures avoiding lawyers and the police who generally turn up (in that order) about 30 seconds after the group who so far have managed to escape the dreaded cellophane wrap!!!!
Just read "The Asti Spumanti Code" very silly parody.

Re: What are you reading?
Last three books I've read:
'Are you Dave Gorman?' - bit of a silly book, basically two mates going round meeting + photographing people called dave gorman because of a 'drunken bet'
(seems more likely that it was an idea for making some money)
'The Da Vinci Code' - was ok, seems to be a lot of untruths, but enjoyable all the same.
currently reading 'The ragged trousered philanthropists'
Seems very relevent to society today - would thouroughly reccomend!

Currently on the second to last chapter of a 1000+ page book on the CompTIA A+ certification. All about complex PC details that you'll never need to know except to pass the exam.

Re: What are you reading?
"A Hat Full of Sky" by Terry Pratchett which has just come out in paperback.
Actually I'm re-reading it (again!) because I read it three times when it came out in Hardback (twice to enjoy and once for annotations) and I've already read the paperback once and I'm reading it again because it's such a damn good book!!

Re: What are you reading?
Mother Tongue - Bill Bryson
I've read a whole succession of Bryson books lately, each one better than the last. Not sure about this one yet though, he seems to have strayed from a tried and tested formula and I'm not sure it's working.

Well, some things last. I read that about 40 years ago.
