Saturn's Children by Charles Stross. So far it hasn't lived up to the other works of his that I have read, but I must give him credit, the gynoid/spaceship lesbian sex scene was very tastefully done.

I guess I know what my next book is going to be :rofl:

A Thousand Splendid Suns.

I just finished Darkly Dreaming Dexter and have started on Dearly Devoted Dexter. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a writing style so much. Awesome books (Y)

I got a Kindle for Christmas (a surprise, not something I asked for) and I love it. It totally got me back into reading, something I've been wanting to do but just needed a little push.

I just returned "Cool It - The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide To Global Warming" by Bjorn Lomborg and "The Gathering Storm" (The Wheel of Time Book 12) by Robert Jordan with Brandon Sanderson to my local library. I actually read all 700-odd pages of TGS within a week but since I've invested my time in another 11 books (plus the New Spring Prequel), I felt that I need to have this story finally end.

I just picked up "The Gypsy Morph: Genesis of Shannara" but I may have read this before (I'm not sure). I also picked up the "Elves of Cintra" (the previous book) and I have found out that I have definitely read that book so I'll move on to the Gypsy Morph.

The only other noteworthy book from the last few weeks/months was reading "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" which was fun but otherwise very silly. It was interesting because I knew the original source material and so I could see how the Zombies, Ninjas and the Sholin training got weaved into the original story.

I forgot about this thread! maybe pin it...people do read alot!

anyway I am currently reading Shiver

Grace is fascinated by the wolves in the woods behind her house; one yellow-eyed wolf in particular. Every winter, she watches him but every summer, he disappears. Sam leads two lives. In winter he stays in the frozen woods, with the protection of the pack.n summer, he has a few precious months to be human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again. When Grace and Sam finally meet they realize they can't bear to be apart. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human - or risk losing himself, and Grace, for ever!

    • I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
