My library often sells unwanted books for 20 - 30p I got Pete Burns "Freak Unique; My Story" his biography - for 20p. He had a very unusual background.

Currently " listening" to storm of swords, tend to do audiobooks more now, as I can get in with other stuff whilst enjoying a read!

I love the TV series and I've had one of the talking books which was funny "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Tertiary Phase..."

I'm only half way through it - have only broken off reading to eat and to post this - fascinating stuff!
I was going to say "thanks for the link Margaret" but the free downloads been taken down for copyright reasons!

Yeah the Newsflesh trilogy I am 'listening'' to it rather than reading. I do a lot of audio books. Pass the time at work when i am doing the easier jobs.

I love Graphic Audio's product. They do the dramatised versions of the James Axler series 'Deathlands' Full cast with sound effects.

Actual books. Only a few that I am interested in do I have to read. Going to start Resident Evil: City of the dead(novelization of the resi evil 2 videogame) soon

Re: Bookworms: What are you reading at the moment?
Having waited so long for it's publication, I have just finished James Herbert's 'Ash', and to be honest I found it quite disappointing. Having been a long time fan of Herbert's books, and been suitably impressed by most, I found this one to lack the punch that he usually achieves in his novels. Would be interested to hear other opinions.

"Man walks into a pub" a sociable history of Beer by Pete Brown, lots of trivia & anecdotes relating to the amber nectar & it's position in our society from early doors through to modern day. It's a recent reprint (second edition) so a bit more in than first time round, lots of manageable chunks so can be picked up & read as & when.

I have to get this one ... sounds like a great read.

Oh ... Man with a toad sitting on his head walks into a pub. The bartender looks at him and says, "What the hell happened"? "I have no idea," says the toad; "it started out as a wart on my ass."
