    Are books too expensive?

    My question is why do eBooks cost as much as a hard copy? I travel a lot, and live in a country where I can't get books easily. My eReader is a constant companion.

    I'm currently working my way through series one (I picked up the complete collection set for £75 recently). I think the effects stand up quite well to scrutiny.

    Reading Groups

    if there is no sci-fi/fantasy book group near you, why not start your own? put up a flyer in your local bookshop/library. one has just started in my local bookseller. one of the shop assistants organised it. :D

    October Offerings - What tantalising tome are you reading?

    i finished it myself a couple of weeks ago. simply put, the best fantasy book i've read this year. my only wish is that i'd not read it, so i can read it for the first time again.

    October Offerings - What tantalising tome are you reading?

    I've just read "The lies of Locke Lamora" by Scott Lynch. Exellent fantasy. well worth reading. It looks like it's the first in a series too. I'll be keeping an eye out for more from this author.

    I need a fantasy novel recommendation!

    for fantasy, i would go with Robin Hobb or L E Modesit jr. not all that tolkeinesque but well constructed and engaging reading.

    I miss Firefly

    my pet theory on "shep" is that he was of high military rank (hence the martial arts/shooting skills), was sickened by the slaughter at serenity valley, retired to the monastary. and is now "out in the world for a spell"... bit of a firefly fan here.......
