There are two, an old one and a recent one - I've only seen the old one and I really like it! Brilliant sets, and some good effects for its time.

But let me tell you a book I always keep with me: just a little book, 'Collected Meditations' - it's a collection of philosophers, writers, thinkers...Native American wisdom, which I... and it's really showing you that the spiritual side needs as much care and attention as the physical side... it's about feeding the soul, evolving spirituality, and... foreword by Duncan Goodhew... so...

That had better be a bloody office quote....

The recent series of Dune/Children Of Dune is much much better.

Hahahaha. Well done James!

Have you ever heard the phrase, 'laughter is the best medicine'? Well it's true. When you laugh, it releases endorphins into your brain, yeah? I try and laugh at least five times a day.

Bugger off you Greek!

I'm currently reading "A Beginner's Guide to Reality". It's not science fiction, but it could well be with some of the crazy stuff it comes out with, it's basically a philosophy book, but really interesting. I haven't read a book in it's entirety since school, and I'm very close with this one. Next after that is "The Infinite Book", which, incase you couldn't tell, is all about infinity. I believe infity is the key to existence so this should be a thrilling read!

nothing else but sci fi! though i did enjoy for whom the bell tollz

And just exactly whom does the bell toll for?

it tolls for thee

I lost my copy about two thirds in, was quite annoyed about that.

Why would you limit yourself just to Sci-Fi? There's so much great stuff out there.

Personally I seem to go more for the old classic stuff, like Dante's Inferno, now that's a bloody good read.

Im about to start Dante's Inferno after my Spanish Inquisition book...though Paradise Lost, Canterbury Tales and lliad are good.

I would like to read the Strategemata but so far i have only found Latin texts...which i could start learning when i finish up some assignments...as James is learning it and a friend also knows it would be fun to learn and speak a dead language
