Ive picked up songs of the dieing earth but havnt got round to looking at it yet, do you know if its worth a looksee ? x
Dying Earth is a good book, short stories clasics.
The Dying Earth is a collection of fantasy short fiction by Jack Vance, published by Hillman in 1950. Vance returned to the setting in 1965 and thereafter, making it the first book in the Dying Earth series. It is retitled Mazirian the Magician in its Vance Integral Edition (2005),[1] after the second of six collected stories.
The Internet Speculative Fiction Database calls it a "slightly connected series of stories" but it was ranked number 16 of 33 "All Time Best Fantasy Novels" by Locus in 1987, based on a poll of subscribers.[1]
Similarly, it was one of five finalists for the Best Novel "Retro Hugo" in 2001[1] when the World Science Fiction Society provided 50th anniversary recognition for a publication year without Hugo Awards.
I've just finished "Natural Causes" by James Oswald that I obtained free from WHSmith thanks to O2. It was a good read and I recommend it.
World War Z by Max Brooks
The Automata Wars Vol 2: Front Line, by LM Cooke.
World War Z by Max Brooks
I haven't read it but I've heard that it is so completely different to the film that it hard to even compare them. Your opinion?
If the second half of the book is a different genre, and printed in a different font on differently sized pages... then it's a pretty good comparison 
Yeah, I'd heard the film as very little to do with the book
I've also seem some decent reviews of both book & film.
I always like to read a book 1st if possible.
I'm about 1/3 of the way through & I can see from the trailers that the film is a very different Zombie indeed
Well it was Brad saves the World, not as much gore as I thought it would be but the film was just OK.
What are you listening to right now?
Different forum maybe but here is mine, I’ve been lucky enough in my life to obtain a Technics 1210 MK2 (look it up Mr Black!) and am again lucky enough to have the 1979 radio program of THHGTTG and part 2 Restaurant at the End of the Universe...so what are you listening to right now?
