Andy, If you like the Anubis Gates try Powers "Drawing of the Dark" it's a fantasy pretty good at least I liked it.
Will do Billy, I'm liking it so far...
> It's scary to see how much of the English language has gone out of common use.
Funnily enough I was given a desk calendar called "forgotten English" - from today's entry I have learnt "Imaginant" and that today it the birthday of Percy Bysshe Shelley.
The Last Journey of William Huskisson by Simon Garfield
An entertaining, well written account of the history and events leading up to the death of Liverpools' Member for Parliament in 1830 at the hands of the infamous Stevenson's Rocket.
Riveting stuff.
Signor Marconi's Magic Box by Gavin Weightman
Excellent, historical and as livley as Tiddles on catnip. If you like scientific stuff from the days of the great Nikola Tesla, this is about as colourful as it gets.
Listening to "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K Dick
Nick - did you follow up on any of my Iain Banks recommendations?
I am just about to start listening to Philip Pullman (not read any of his books yet) The Amber Spyglass, The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife 
Great series, but don't listen to them in that order though...
Ohh & one of them is the name of a film, not a book 
Indeed a revision is in order:
Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass),The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass 
That should do you
