Zorac's LiveJournal

It's review time again! This time, three weighty volumes by Peter F. Hamilton: The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God - space opera on a grand scale (we're talking over 3,700 pages in total - getting towards 3 times the length of The Lord of the Rings). More below:

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to everyon who was distressed by last night's spider pictures. Sorry about that. Secondly, $75,000,000,000 - surely they could do an awful lot more good with that money elsewhere than this war is going to acheive. Oh, and everyone sould read this entry from angiej's journal - there are far worse things than the war itself. THirdly, todays discussions in the office have gone all Zen with the old "If a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound" routine. I expect either quantum mechanics or comparative theology tomorrow...
