Vol. 3/29 History of Russia by Sergey Solovyov.

 

[Buchpteclare]

A facinating audio book from Libravox; The Lancashire Witches by William Harrisin Ainsworth, read by Andy Minter. A beautifully told tale, and an excellent reader!

Duma Key by Stephen King. A prolific writer mainly of the horror genre. Obviously a well read man judging by the references one finds scattered about his books.

I was watching a programme we have in the Uk called Countryfile, it was on last night. It was filmed in the area of Pendle, and they talked about the story of the witches, I must see if I can find the book, it sounds very interesting.

Want to search out some Phillip K Dick, who I have never read. Will start with Do androids Dream of Electric Sheep. Would be interested to hear any ones opinions of him. Have heard he was rather a strange man but maybe it was just his writing that caused that reputation.

teddy ( a Blade Runner fan. I have three of the eight versions)

He well might have been strange, Teddy, but in a good sense; he foresaw--much like Wells and Verne--but with a darker and more pessimistic vision, many of the downsides and negative attributes of much of the technology that are present with us today. Enjoy your journey!

Absolutely, Teddy; he is one of the giants of his craft who shall live on forever. RIP Mr. Bradbury, we shall greatly miss you.

Vol. 4/29 History of Russia by Solovyov.

 

[teddy]

Lord of the Flies. Read it about 40 years ago. On the copy I have the inside appears to be signed by the author. This is an old copy handed out to a pupil at a local colledge almost 30 yeard ago.. I must try and find out if it is a genuine signature.

Just about to start The Woman Who went to Bed for a Year by Sue Townsend, a birthday gift from my youngest. I got hooked on Townsend through the Adrian Mole diaries. She has an acutely wry slant on life
