Oh! I started reading Bill Bryson after we studied a passage of "Notes From a Big Country" in our GCSE exams! I really like his style and humour ^^. And in non-science fiction news...I also read Manga...>.>

I've never been a huge manga fan myself. Something about the characters just kind of creep me out for some reason...
I'm actually in the middle of The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, and I'm quite enjoying it.

Well, I read it. The Da Vinci Code. Wierd book. Still processing. Will resume posting in complete sentences eventually.

I have to say, Manga creeps me out to! The wide eyes and stuff....
But I have read The Da Vinci Code, which I have to say was a great read, but possibly the worst written book ever! I've read all of Dan Browns books, and while I think he has some really great ideas and plots, his writing style is just painful! To Lostoyannaya, Have you read Bill Bryson's Down Under? Thats one of his good ones. Oh and his new(ish) one, 'A short history of everything. Good stuff!

I agree. I love the underlying history and whatnot that he incorporates, but the style itself just keeps you pumped up way too long. There's no lulls to catch your breath, and it can get *extremely* corny at points. Still, I'll probably re-read before I see the movie.

And YES!!! Finally someone who agrees with me - Dan Brown's writing is painfully grammatically incorrect! As someone doing an A-Level in English language it's quite impossible for me to read Angels and Demons without having to take a break every few minutes. :wink: I recommend The Darwin Awards for easy Doctor's-waiting-room reading! ~~Lostoyannaya

It's funny this topic should come up - I'm at this moment nearly finished reading The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson, possibly my second favourite novel of all time, and the one I got out of the library to read after is... Dune, which without a shadow of a doubt is my favourite. If you haven't read either, then what are you bally well waiting for?

Wendy Northcut is a genius. If it were anything else, I'd want to win one of her awards. Oh well...

Oolon Colluphid is well worth avoiding. His "style" will put anyone off reading. Aside from the immense inaccuracies he laces his books with.

Wendy Northcut created the Darwin Awards, thus, to win one, I would have to suffer a goodly bit of bodily harm.

Oh, I love the Falco novels, though the ones I've read have been totally out of order so I've been left a little confused at times.
