Re: What are you reading now?

Snowcrash was indeed very good. I have the dauntingly dence Cryptonomicon on the shelf, but I have to break up the titanic volumes with many easier to read shorter ones (& Peter F Hamiltons The Neutronium Alchemist is next up on the Titanic register)

I have cheated slightly with this one as it's a bit of a massive tome so I got it as an unabridged audio book 30hours long.

He he, yes I keep looking for the Peter F Hamilton ones on audio too, I know some of them have been done, but my library doesn't stock them & they are to expensive to buy

Deep if you sign up as a new member to Audible you can take 3 books for £3.99 each  one a month after that it's £7.99 then you can just cancell it after 3.
I find them Ok been with them for about a year, but make sure it's the unabridged editions you get .

Thanks Billy, I'll look into that.
 
Pitty it doesn't stay at £4, as £8 is a bit to steep just to borrow
