They do summarise the plot, so probably best to leave off listening until after you've finished it - also if you want to maintain your innocence about the relationship between Ishmael and Queequeg..........

The Hanging Tree. The latest in the Rivers Of London series by Ben Aaronevitch. Better the second time around.

Sam Forever
A very interesting and easy to read look at Samantha Fox's career, full of stories sometimes funny and sometimes moving, some nice never seen before pics and a great reminder of how crazy (in the right sense of the word) the 80s were. Definitely a nice book.

July 1945.
Using XE-craft midget this is the full story when 2 British Midget Submarines attacked the 2 Imperial Japanese Heavy Cruisers , Takao and Myoko in shallow water off Singapore - where they were a potential threat to the forthcoming ' Operation Zipper ' , the Invasion of Malaya , in September 1945 . It is a book I am starting to read , I knew a bit of the back story through War Comics , but this is the full in-depth detail about the mission , and the 2 other far less known attacks of submerged phone cables that lead to China and Indo-china - worth a punt |

Hey North. Bought yourself a copy of the collected Darkie's Mob yet? Best comic story ever. I remember to this day running to the shops for my Battle and getting home only to find out that both Cold Steele and Merrill's Marauder's finished that day. Was devastated. The following week brought Capt. Joe Darkie. I'm hoping they print The Team That Went To War as a book.

'Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence' by Max Tegmark.
I'm very interested by this subject, because when it happens it will be the greatest shift in human history, greater than the agricultural or industrial revolutions. It's intriguing that most experts are not so concerned with creating artificial intelligence, so much as they are with mitigating against the risks of it - it is both inevitable and highly risky, for a number of reasons, and the two books I've read about this recently (this one and 'Superintelligence' by Nick Bostrom, another Swede), both go into great detail about the myriad ways in which it could be very bad for us if we're not careful, and it is not even necessary for the AI to become 'malevolent' (by our lights) for this - for example, if we assign the AI the goal of 'minimising all human suffering as far as possible', the most efficient way of achieving that goal would be for the AI to instantaneously painlessly euthanise the entire human race. Although he does get a bit 'physics-y' at times (he's a physics professor), about our cosmic endowment and the energy potential of all the atoms in the solar system, which makes my head hurt, he writes very well, I enjoyed his previous book too. Well worth a read if you're interested in where we're headed. |

Trying to get my grandkids interested in reading more than watching TV, so I bought my grandson 15 or so of the Hardy Boy books.....and found myself reading them as well. Great stuff and I think Im swaying him to the print side.
