That would be The Redheaded League by Arthur Conan Doyle. I need to think of one now, let's see.......... A professor uses logic to transport himself into an age of mythology.

Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban. Definitely strange, imaginative and oddball. I found it to have a slight flavouring of mysticism but I wouldn't go as far as to call it insane though.

T3 really leads the way for T4:War Against the Machines, doesn't it? We finally get to see the humans win, and the final scene would be John Connor sending the very first Terminator back in time, thus making a circular story. Except in T3 it is stated that Very late edit. I got confused...

I have read the first three Harry Potter stories, and while I enjoyed the suspense, mystery and character development in them I still fail to see what the fuss is about. It has been stated in a number of publications that the books portray magic as a real-life option. Maybe they do, but how...

How about this one? 'Now why would anyone become a prostitute?' the white guy asked, sipping his iced coffee through a long, skinny straw. I had to keep reading, to see if the answer was given. Oh, the quote is from Pat Cadigan's Tea From an Empty Cup

If you like William Gibson, you might like Pat Cadigan. I'm reading Tea From an Empty Cup at the moment. Similar science to Gibson's cyberspace novels, though more of a detective story. I do find the oft mentioned term 'Artificial Reality' a little irritating, though. I mean, if its...

Hannibal - Thomas Harris

Easy. It's Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic Hero series. A list of the books can be found here. You may know of Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat and Deathworld books.

Well, I finished Ogre, Ogre and I am now reading Night Mare. I can honestly say I enjoyed Ogre. I have yet to encounter any of his writing that borders on pornography, at most I would describe it as titillating. I enjoy his wordplay and puns. It was interesting imagining 'rolling hills'...

If you read and enjoy Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull - published in 1970, incidentally - I recommend his 1977 book Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.

I think, after visiting the author's website, that he is a total wacko. This may sound harsh, ill-considered and intemperate, but the thought of the British royal family being shape-shifting reptiles strikes me as utterly ludicrous. I have to go now. The fluorescent squirrel / spider...

PC. Wouldn't consider a Mac unless I was going to go into graphics work, which I'm not. Maybe its just bad publicity, but I always get the feeling from Apple adverts that Macs are always a day late and a dollar short.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Star Trek - First Contact The Matrix True Lies Wilt Running Scared Blazing Saddles Electric Dreams Life of Brian

Wilt, by Tom Sharpe. Especially when it got to the part about the inebriated vicar attempting to read a message for help written on inflated condoms.

I don't know exactly. I have one small bookshelf, and various small piles around the house, some of them with books in them. I do know that I have 198 on my virtual bookshelf though.

I'm an email junkie. I have 2 hotmail, 2 Yahoo, an ICQ, 2 accounts from myownemail and my ISP account. I have no idea why, though. I very rarely get anything other than junk mail. I think I would turn the offer down, just to see if I could. :-)

I thought it was boring and predictable, with uninspired villains and average action scenes. There seemed to be nothing that hadn't been done before.

Read down the middle of the page. You can usually pick up the gist of story from the context. (Offers grain of salt)

Didn't I see you in Taranaki recently, with Tom Cruise? :-D
