Seriously I do not have enough time to fit in any of my other passions, let alone read a book.I have to say though that is really is a sad state of affairs, and I do miss reading. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
If you are into fantasy books, I highly recommend "The Magician" or anything else by Raymond E. Feist.Also recommend anything by David Eddings or Terry Brooks.

I don't want to spoil it for you but, those accountants near the beginning end up at the Zoological Gardens

Reading The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick - again.
This is about the 12th time.
Wish they would make more of Dick's books like this one into films rather than bastardising short stories and novels into the utter ***** that Hollywood ends up making of them.
Screamers , Total Recall , Minority Report - utter crap.
A Scanner Darkly - passably strange.
Blade Runner - all time classic but bears no resemblence to the book.
Sorry for the rant.
Please continue.
War Without Garlands - by Robert Kershaw.
It's an overview of Hitlers invasion of Russia starting from before the invasion and finishing at them being halted outside Moscow.
The title comes from the Germans term for the campaign as they received no victory parades or flowers.
Reading Necroscope at the moment, though it's been about 3weeks since I've last read it.
