Managed to finish A Brave New World, wonderful book, highly recommend everyone reads it, I throughly enjoyed it.
Starting White Teeth next, I really am several years behind everyone in terms of reading material.

I brought Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion, 2nd Edition on Richard's recommendation. Have only had a quick flick at it but is looking like a great buy.
On the Richard book front, I finished Penny Arcade Volume 2: Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings! a present that turned up over Christmas, a great book.
I love Tycho and Gabe, I don't have anywhere near enough time to play games now - not because I'm all busy with work and to old for life, but because I'm disorganized.
Anyway, the book was great, interesting to see how there style has changed since 2001 and some of the thoughts behind the comics.

Well I've started reading again, we'll see how long it lasts this time before there is yet another pile of half finish books next to the bed and an ever growing collection of new books on the floor.
I've just finish Nick Hornby's The Complete Polysyllabic Spree, I liked it. Not least of all because he says and does things I do and agree with, such as, buying more books than you will every get round to reading and not reading books because they are literary, but because you enjoy them - nothing wrong with a bit of Dan Brown every now and then.
I've started Brave New World by Aldous Huxley on the plane home from Queensland. It was only an hour so not a lot of reading, rather a lot skipped though as the introduction seems to give an overview of the entire story.
