Got 'A Better Mantrap' and 'Fire Pattern' on the stack at the moment. I understand the Old Man's War thing - I know a bunch of people who've dissed his books, but I rather enjoy them and will be picking up Zoe's Tale at some point. I have Ghost Brigades and Last Colony sitting on my desk at the moment after getting them back from people I've leant them to. Report on Probability A is slow going, hence being relegated to the reading back burner. I think I'm going to have to start it again sometime. Maybe. 1977 isn't as readable as 1974, his style has definitely turned towards the more difficult side of things similar to in Tokyo Year Zero, but is still very good - I reckon I'll have it finished by this evening, making it 2 books in 4 days, which is rather quick for me these days.

The only book recently that has had me so enthralled was "Old Man's War" by John Scalzi which I finished last night. Bob Shaw is great - have you read "Who Goes here?" AKA "Warren Peace". I see "Report on Probability A" in the sidebar - that's a weird one. Intrigued – I’m adding 1974 to my Amazon wish list.
