Now I am having olympics withdrawal. I think there was olympics on the telly on at least one channel continuously for the last two weeks. It is much more interesting when you have people, swedes, to cheer on in most of the events too. Winter sports are big here, and after a bit of a medal drought the last couple of olympics, this time they did much better than anyone thought they could beforehand. And best of all they are above Norway in the medal table :-)

book review
Dan Simmons: Ilium (Gollancz S.F.)
A pretty good science fiction take on Homer's Iliad. Definitely worth a read. (****)- Edmund Cooper: Overman Culture (Coronet Books)
Good read, good ideas, read it if you can. (****) John Meaney: Paradox
This was my first book by John Meaney and for most of the book I was pretty happy. It had a lot of interesting ideas about the structure of society and new types of technology. The biggest problem for me was that some of these could have used a lot more fleshing out. I had the feeling that somehow all these things would become clearer as the plot progressed but unfortunately that didnt happen. Still an enjoyable read by a new (to me) author. (***)Iain M. Banks: Feersum Endjinn
I am a big fan of Iain M Banks and this was the first of his books that I read. Its a pretty unique story and the scale of the environment is a good new slant. When you start reading it takes a bit of time to get used to the parts that are written phonetically. But its worth sticking with it and after a while you almost dont notice :-) (*****)Neal Stephenson: Cryptonomicon
This is a great book, especially if your even the smallest bit a geek. A good mix of face and fiction that is also humorous. Its not very often you get a blend of those that are as good as this. Big thumbs up. (*****)
