Andi, are you reading it for the SFX Bookclub?
 
Youre going to have to beat my record of 6 times having my comments in the mag. Though I seem to remember you were there a while back. You are slipping up sir. Step up to the plate and impress them journo types. Eye-wink

Indeed I am Iain Smiling
 
I've had a few printed not sure how many though?
 
I don't read stuff just because it's up for SFX specifically, but if a book comes up for the club article that's on my list, then it gets a bump up...

Re: What are you reading now?

I am about half way through the last of my “held back” Robert Rankin books, and I am so glad I kept it till last, its Apocalypso. And what a cracking book it is!

Lined up next on my shelf are:

Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan

And

News from Gardenia by Robert Llewellyn (of Red Dwarf fame (a kick-starter project))

Laughing out loud
