Finished The New Jim Crow. Staggering read.

Started this:

I should probably do those two.... having done the first two a while ago... do you think I should revisit some things before starting on this duo?

Still going with The First Law: Book 2. Should finish that today, and start with Book 3 tomorrow. Thinking I must do the Endymion duo after that.

IStill going with The First Law: Book 2. Should finish that today, and start with Book 3 tomorrow. Thinking I must do the Endymion duo after that.

Still can't quite figure out how you get through so many books and tv series. I also want a Hyperbolic Time Chamber .

I think at the least go through the wiki summaries for the preceding books, just to get a bit of a refresher.

lol, my series has slowed down quite considerably, but remember one thing, I'm basically doing about 2hours of solid book time every day of the week traveling to work and back on the gautrain. And most days I read for 20-30 minutes before I go to sleep, and about 15 when I wake up (on the bog)

but yeh, i try and do too much... my wife has been complaining that I'm always busy with something, it's either reading/listening to a book, playing a computer game, watching a tv series, playing a game on the mobile, cooking, braaing, music, whatever... i think i need to scale down on my interests a bit

Camus? Who dis Camut guy?

My bad - meant Camus all along.

I like Camus. You could always just finish the one you're busy with (his books are all short) and then move on.

Yeah, I'm still super sceptical. SyFy.

No way they've got the budget to do the story justice.

And... do what?

You know I asked her once... in hindsight, maybe it wasn't such a good idea during an argument
