    I'm getting back into my sci-fi again - I've been reading Neal Asher (the polity books) and Alastair Reynolds (first two Revelation Space books are ace, the rest are a bit lame).

    I'm going to order the book I,Claudius by Robert Graves to take on holiday.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Books...

    It's hard to explain.
    It's about a man making a journey with his son by motorbyke and the philosophical and spiritual journey he makes.
    It changed my outlook on life.

    You should just read it. :)
