Sounds like you had a great time.

Glad you had fun. It must have been hard travelling so close to the greatest country on the planet and settling for England

By the way, have you heard anything more about Nick Harkaway since he wrote The Gone-Away World ? I was hoping he'd come up with something new soon as that was a novel that still sticks in my mind. Quick Google search turned up a couple of interesting titbits * Nick Harkaway is John Le Carre's son....

The Peripheral - William Gibson The father of Cyberpunk is back with his first future novel since 1999. Set in not one but two futures. The first, not far off from our own present day, takes place in a Winter's Bone-ish world where the only industries still surviving are lightly evolved versions of...

So ends a long bad year where I never got a chance to do the stuff I love like paly games and especially read books. Read a couple over Xmas break High Druids Blade - Terry Brooks Stand alone Shannara novel. About Paxon Leah and the ancient sword that ran in his family. Weidly nothing really happens...

Easy peasy.

Dreamfall Chapters takes about 3 hours, Wasteland 2 might take longer

On holiday at the moment so finished up a few books so far. Mr Mercedes - Stephen King Not one of King's normal books. It's more of a crime novel than horror. Mr Mercedes is the nickname of the serial killer who used the car from the title to mow down and kill 8 people in a job recruitment crowd. Ne...

Trapped in the back of a truck as it travels cross country to it's final destination deep in the Montan...

Killing Floor (Jack Reacher #1) - Lee Child Didn't know much about this series, other than my mum is a big fan. Was rewatching the Tom Cruise movie about the Reacher character and decided to give it a shot. So this is the first book in the Jack Reatcher series and first impressions are not phenomen...
