I’m currently rebuilding the website as the old one got totally messed up when i was playing around with things (no idea what happened).
So i thought that while it was a total clusterfuck mess of SQL, i would take the opportunity to give it a whole new life and everything.
So if you go clicking on things you might find that very strange things happen. Don’t moan, i know a lot of things are broken, i’m working on it, it takes time.
I’ve got tons of old posts and pages from three websites that i’m working through and will be gradually posting all the stuff i want to keep on here while fixing all the broken things as i go through, one post, one page, at a time.
On top of doing all that, i will, of course, be continuing to add more new content and my latest posts will always appear directly below.
Or, if you prefer, you can also follow me on Twitter and Pinterest where i put a link to all new posts.
Enjoy
The Sorites Principle — Ian Gibbs
I think we can all find space some more perseverance in our lives – i certainly wouldn’t mind a bit more.

Breath Perception — Barbara Ann Kipfer
I really do need to have a non-fiction binge at some point.
A while ago i got into a rather good period of alternating between a non-fiction and a fiction book – and i got through quite a bit of non-fiction that i otherwise wouldn’t have read. That’s my biggest reading problem, i so love reading fiction and i’m so excited about all the good stories i have lined up waiting that i just never get around to reading all the good non-fiction that i buy unless i force myself. So i’m thinking that my previous rule… ‘i can’t start another fiction book until i’ve read a non-fiction one.’ is definitely going to have to come back to clear some of the backlog.
The crazy thing is that i will enjoy it once i get into it.

Spark — Anthea Sharp
All in all i quite enjoyed the first Feyland trilogy and so i’ll definitely give the second trilogy a good read as soon as i collect them all.

Ashes of the Fall — Nicholas Erik
It was free and i liked the cover (dark and dystopian), the synopsis sounds interesting and it’s got some good reviews — so why not put it in “The Waiting Room” and see if i can get the rest of the series for a bargain?

Slaughterhouse-Five — Kurt Vonnegut
Just one of those books that had to be put on ‘The Pile’ when it came up for 99p.

The Ark — Patrick S Tomlinson
A rather enjoyable detective story set on a generation ship (which by their nature are always quite dystopian) carrying the last of humanity to a new planet after the Earth gets destroyed after finding itself in the path of a wandering black hole.
This was one of those books that i just flew through, which is always a good sign of how well something is written and how well it perks up my interest in it.
So yeah, all good, and there’s another two books to follow in the trilogy which i’m looking forward to.
The next book is Trident’s Forge.

Uprising — Anthology
It got thrown into my path somewhere along the way and i couldn’t resist that cover. So i had a look at what it was about and just had to buy it.
12 writers writing 12 stories over 2382 pages is good value for 99p, but the catch is that they’re all prequels or, first books in, a series. But that’s not too bad as it gives me a cheap way of trying out a few writers that maybe i wouldn’t have done and you never know what you may find. The Given is certainly a gem and i’m really enjoying that series immensely.
Sadly, i don’t think it’s available any more.

Betrayal — Pippa DaCosta
I do love a good AI story — i hope this is as good as it looks.
Haven’t read any of Pippa’s stuff before, so i’m heading into a new experience with this. Will report back when i get around to reading it.

On Anarchism – Noam Chomsky
In all my years i’ve never gotten around to reading any of Noam’s stuff, so when a load of his books got put on offer for 99p i thought i’d give this a go at some time in the future, paid my pennies and threw it on ‘The Pile’.
You never know, i just may learn something i didn’t know i didn’t know.
