Theres a lot of buzz around Lottery by Patricia Wood, out in August I think.

I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Chris Moyles autobiography. Was pretty good, could have been longer though.

Reading "A prayer for Owen Meany" by John Irving for the second time now for my son at bed time while waiting for the last in the Eragon triologi and the last Harry Potter.

Reading a 400 Page RFP (request for preposal).

The plots a bit loose, Id recommend it if youre having trouble sleeping.

In search of the Knights Templar: Simon Brighton. The sites that the knights built and worked in Britain

The Templars: Jack M Driver, a more European based history.

Also been trying to read Paragon Lost: Dave Duncan but its a bit taxing so taking a lot of time to finish.

Believe me when I say I will find the books more dull than you will.

Especially training videos that are all americans and use things like scorpions and cars as analogies for some reason.  Its interesting but its dull.
