back on topic I just finished re-reading Gibson's Sprawl trilogy (NEUROMANCER, COUNT ZERO, MONA LISA OVERDRIVE). If you haven't read them, you really should. Sure, NEUROMANCER is my favourite book, and I re-read it every couple of years, but the whole arc is just brilliant. Dystopian, the street finding its own uses for things, just the best science fiction written in the last 50 years. Heinlein, Asimov and all those boring old cunts can go fuck themselves*: this is the future.
Gibson is to science fiction as the Sex Pistols were to rock and roll. Do it. do it now. read these books.
*well, I quite like some of their stuff. Heinlein was a stone fascist though. and Gibson is sort of the anti-Asimov. He skewers that brilliantly in one of his short stories called "The Gernsback Continuum" which is in the short stories collection BURNING CHROME which you also should read.

Currently reading " The World Without Us" by Alan Weisman.
A look at how the world would be if humans disappeared tomorrow. It explains how nature would slowly reclaim the world as we know it.

Local library has a book in the technical section. It is a Haynes manual for a HawkerSiddley Harrier jet. Covers all models from 1960.
Has hardly been issued.

Lee Child - Never go back. The latest in the Jack Reacher series. Cookie cutter story, piss poor ending. So not really a good book I suppose

Unfortunately, many authors try to re write the same plot in a series.
Have just read another of the John Cory stories by Nelson DeMiles. I'm getting a bit tied of the same macho character waving ' old glory ' and killing the nasty towelheads ( post 9/11 ) with his wisecracks and superman antics.
Am currently reading a british police thriller. Much more down to earth and realistic.

Yeah: the American "superman" myth writ large. In terms of the writing they are usually tightly enough plotted that you keep turning the page, but once you're finished you feel kinda dirty. Plus they all blur into one another. (I found the same thing with the Elvis Cole Robert Crais books.) A couple of the Reacher books have been quite good. One where he stumbles on a money laundry and one where he is in buttfuck Texas or somewhere and gets picked up as a hitchiker by some woman in a Cadillac. but cant remember titles.
I do like Ian Rankin's crime fiction a lot. And I have heard good things about James Patterson

I don't usually do the Crime Fiction thing, but I've just finished a Reginald Hill (Dalziel and Pascoe) book - "Recalled to Life" and been quite impressed.
Definitely not a run of the mill writing style and the Dalziel character is really good (I've never watched the TV series, can't compare to Warren Clarke's version).
This week I am mostly re-reading Bernard Cornwell's last Saxon books ahead of the release of the next in the series in a couple of weeks' time.
