I bought The Looking Glass Wars over the summer when I went to London but they don't have the sequel or the original over in the States so I'm screwed.

Most recent book I bought is probably "All the Shah's Men", a history of the 1953 CIA-led coup in Iran which replaced Prime Minister Mossadegh's government with the authoritarian regime of Muhammad Reza Shah.
If anyone's interested in a good book absolutely free: http://www.wumingfoundation.com/italiano/downloads.shtml
Q is a favourite of mine: set in the German Reformation, aside from being an entertaining story it's a very well researched history of the radical aspects of the Reformation.

I was in London recently and I just went nuts, I spent more than 50 pounds in a couple of hours! But it was worth it - I got the five newest Robert B. Parker novels, two novels and a collection of short stories by Peter F Hamilton, and two books by Neal Stephenson!

Man, I am in reader's heaven right now - I devoured the short stories by Hamilton, and then one of his Mindstar books, although of course only after I read Stephenson's Diamond Age, but that goes without saying. evil face

Cryptonomicum (or however you spell it, I'm too lazy to check now stick out tongue ) will be main course and then the Parkers for dessert... Happy Dance

Lord Shadow Z
