I'm an avid reader but I think I remember right that I'm pretty
much the only sci-fi geek in here. Mind you, I do read Iain
Banks regular fiction as well as his M. stuff.
Benny and I were talking King adaptations a little while ago
too.
Have to get some new stuff tho, owning a smart phone has
definitely cut my reading time at work. Normally just spend
20min trying to load a forum page....

Not the only one,just finished a cracking sci fi trilogy by dan
worth on the kindle, exiles, renegades and progeny. Well rounded
characters mixed with a real page turner of a book, and all are
cheap, can't go wrong.

Thanks for the recommendation, just got the 1st on my phone. Bit
of an experiment for me, I much prefer hard copy. Got the Kindle
app a while ago but haven't really used it, my phone screen is a
little small. Well, read the prologue and I think I'll manage.
Intrigued.
