cobblers: Holiday over

Holiday over

Now we have been back in sweden a couple of weeks and I am only just getting around to talking about it. Heres my list of the good stuff :-

Northern Italy is really nice
the Dolomites just kick ass, they are so amazing
Wine in italy is cheap
Germany was a really big surprise, I had no expectations but there is just so much to see and there are lots of really nice towns.
Lake Garda is really nice to swim in when its 38 degrees

See some pictures of the trip here (now in the correct chronological order)

All in all it was a great holiday.

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. (*****)
