Michael Moorcock will be writing a Doctor Who novel soon, that should be interesting to read.


Yes, talk about eagerly awaited...

Now, if only we could get Timothy Zahn.


The best Doctor Who novel has already been written. Lungbarrow. By Marc Platt. Accept no substitutes.


Yeah... I wish they'd do it as an audio book (or even better - a complete audio adventure).

Sorry to go off-topic.

If nothing else, Stephanie Meyer did have the guts to try something different - sparkly vampires.

Maybe it's a female thing. My ex-girlfriend devoured the first Twilight book and she's now reading New Moon with the same passion.

I've read bits and pieces from twilight and I must say it is terrible. I got 2 of the books for christmas today and the first thing I said was I don't even like twilight (the person who bought them wasn't there of course!)
Anyway the book could have been written by a 12 year old, and the films aren't very good, I saw the first one on the internet and I got bored 5 minutes into it.
Oh and don't get me started on the fans...

So I guess it's not a female thing, then :?

Maybe I give my ex's taste too much credit :P
