I am really enjoying this book.....it is amazing

I've read most of Dekker's books and for me, this book was a disappointment. Thr3e, BoneMan's Daughters and Adam were far better.

Started this Saturday and am almost done:

So after reading a lot of Warcraft novels I eventually got tired of them.

Now I have started on the Dresden Files series, and I am currently reading Storm Front. I wasn't sure at first, but the further I get in the more I like it.

The Hunger Games series is excellent.

I'm currently reading The Jungle by Clive Cussler.

I will give the other Ted Dekker books a go after this one, but as i haven't read any of the others to compare i thought The Bride Collector was really engaging.

Great series, can't wait for Ghost Story in a couple months.

Meanwhile, working over another one of his series again, Codex Alera, thought it merited a second reading. Probably get to the Kate Daniels series after that.

I've finished (or done with) Zero Day of Mark Russinovich not two weeks ago. Yeah, the Windows guy... he wrote a novel. I HAD to get it as soon as it came out. Now I cannot figure out where my mind was at that time.

And I have to admit that I haven't picked up anything since then :(

Just finished Catching Fire, now reading:

Definitely enjoying this series.

I am finding it hard to get into the Hunger Games...I will get there eventually...you know there's a movie planned?

just bought this :D

I bought the Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood book by Oliver Bowden today when I was at Asda. Considering it was only ?3.97 I thought it was a pretty good deal. Since the last time I've posted in this thread I've read about four more books so I would probably be wise to actually post more frequently here.

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
    • "77ee94b helium/windows: winsparkle updater (built-in auto-update support on Windows" If that's what I think it is, that is about the only thing that's been missing from this excellent browser. I guess I'll find out the next time I'm on a Windows machine.
