 Re: What are you reading I read a promo copy of that book (the wife runs a bookstore) several months ago and found it a fun and entertaining read. I recommend it to all our friends in the UK.

Re: What are you reading I'm reading an interview with Joe Perry from Aerosmith, and this popped up:
Premier Guitar: The first time I saw AEROSMITH, you guys were opening for MOTT THE HOOPLE.
Perry: We toured with them a lot in the beginning. I can't say enough nice things about those guys. They were very good to us. They took us under their wing, you might say. All they wanted to do was play rock 'n' roll and party. They're back together with all the original members playing shows in England, and I heard they sound great.

Re: What are you reading A real big one. Actually I brought the book to London in October with the intention of giving it to you W&G. Unfortunately it never left my suitcase and traveled back to the US with me. Want me to send it to you?

Re: What are you reading It wasn't the first time for me, but I did see Aerosmith open for MTH at Winterland in San Francisco in 1974.

Re: What are you reading Doctor Who - Autonomy -10th Doctor Adventure from BBC Books!
The Nestene Consciouness and the Autons are back, and the Doctor has to stop them from taking over Hyperville! 
It's really quite exciting!

Re: What are you reading Depends on whether the obscure bits are obscure stuff you know or not. Bit of pot luck with some. Others you can take an educated guess with. Interesting stuff.
Just finished reading The Day After Judgement. Part of Blish's After Such Knowledge trilogy. A heady mix of biblical demonology and sci-fi; dealing with what happens after a black magician summons demons to Earth and God is dead. The devil city of Dis materialises in Death Valley and the remnants of the US military tries to nuke it (fancy that?). Heavy going at times, but worth it.

Re: What are you reading Oh! Yes! It's really quite scary, very action packed. Just like the show!  It's brilliant, really, and I love it. 
But, don't you always have to do that when it comes to watching or reading anything with Doctor Who? Tee hee hee

Re: What are you reading Books are useless! I only ever read one book, “To Kill A Mockingbird,” and it gave me absolutely no insight on how to kill mockingbirds!
