LAST 6 BOOKS READ

1)Yamato:A Rage In Heaven part 2 by Ken Kato: More space opera in a divided universe.

2)The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett: More adventures on Discworld. This one involves Rincewind the magician, Cohen the Barbarian(!), Twoflower the tourist and the multi-legged walking luggage. Funny stuff.

3)December by Phil Rickman: Dave & Moira & Tom & Simon regroup to finish an album in an evil stone abbey, but is that why they're really there?? And what does John Lennon have to do with it? I'll never tell, but if you like music related horror, then definitely read this one!

4)Gerald's Game by Stephen King: Jessie knows what it is, but Gerald doesn't show up much in this book(at least not alive). Pretty good King, and not a big fat overdetailed one.

5)Amazon:Ghost Tribe by Peter Benchley: I think this is the first in a series. Takes place in the 1600s; Pilgrims get blown off course and then pirates,cannibals & jungle beasts ensue. It's no Jaws, but a pretty good read nonetheless.

6)The Humanoid Touch by Jack Williamson: A 1980 sequel to a 1949 original
(The Humanoids)which I may or may not have read a long time ago. But as (probably)cash-in sequels go, it's not bad. Keth Kyrone struggles to find a way of defeating the Humanoids; human-like robots who serve mankind because "they know what's best for you", no matter what.

So there you have it; 2 really good ones, 3 good ones, 1 ok.
