Yeovilton ASP Managed Servers Accreditation documentation. Because I have to update it, and its about 18 months out of date. Fcukers.

Oh, and JSP (Joint Service Publication) 440. Which is a very large and dull read, all about security. Joy.

I was reading Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus until those two got in the way as it occured to me I'd never read it. Prior to that, Ninteen Eighty-Four, for about the 3rd time :d

I have recently read the Twilight Series and a very interesting book called Obedience by Will Lavender. I mostly read tragic life stories and crime novels and anything that is basically titled 'there is sex in this book' lol

Oh and of course I have spent to last 3 years reading about a million psychology and sociology books

my lady friend has just read the twilight books, she keeps telling me how shes is sooo much like 'bella? bellend??' whatever the main girls name is, because she is clumsy like her...... swiftly moving on!

bah at pyschology books, PHYSICS is the science to read these days, or so i hear on the nerdvine lol i quite like reading about physics, the furthest i will stretch to when it comes to philosophy is religion based material/philosophy on physics lol

stu touches blokes at weekends and wears womens clothes on weekdays, i can get away with this because he also cant read

cant read anything that isnt engineering/tech related (only just managing to read my heros engineering biography lol)

I find other people's biographies, generally, incredibly boring. Mainly as 99% of it is either ghostwritten (or in the case of Jordan, 101%), or I just feel miffed that what they're writing about in such great detail is mostly made up lol

Martin only reads autobiographies as well so maybe thats a man thing. Im reading Dawn French's atm which is really funny.

The Twilight books are amazing and tbh I think any girl in the world could probably identify with Bella because she is your standard teenage girl! I think Im like her as well but then my friends think they are like her also.

yeah, i can see from the title of said thread how you would think it would be anything different from what it is, usually when i get something really exciting to say, i try my best to label it as something really boring, and then when i accidentally stumble upon it, it really puts a kick in my step for the rest of the day!! :wtf:

bravo two zero and chris ryans account of it are very good, but from other army books ive read chris ryan seems to have stretched the truth a fair bit, i came out of it much preferring andy mcnab

and terry pratchett books are good too, i read about 6 then violently lost interest in them for some reason!!

check ebay atm....

I'm into reading - do it lots on the train and at lunch at work to escape from the sh1te around me. Like books that create worlds your imagination can lose itself in.

Recently read the the history of Juluis Ceasar by Conn Iggulden - excellent set of 4 books well worth reading - v graphic!
Also his Ghangis Khan trilogy is excellent!

Like the fantasy ones too - Tolkien, Potter, Disc World and read some weird books by a guy called K J Parker and which are very good.

Currently reading a book called "Court of the Air" by Stephen Hunt about 2 kids who have weird blood and are the key to saving a Victorian London style city from killer devil demi god insects. Pretty good if a little twisted althouigh if the authgor follows up the city set up and him inventive machines into other books it could be a great series...

One of the best books I;ve read is "Law of the Playground" - an A-Z of everything you used to play / do when a kid - I cried with laughter its so funny!

Has a kn0b on the front cover!

well then ade, have you read any of a series of sci fi books, about a fantasy land blabla, where some people are wizards, and when you become a qizard you get given a new name and the main character is called Ged?!

i cant remember for the life of me the author or name of the books and have literally been after them for years!
