A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian: I bought this book probably when it had been out for a year, or two, and started it at the time, but then put it away, and forgot about it. I recently restarted the book, and read it relatively quickly (for me, at least) – in about two […]
Book Log
Books I’ve read.
Book: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid – Bill Bryson
The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid: First things first. This book gave me an odd feeling of nostalgia. Even though I wasn’t alive in the 1950s. IÂ want a time machine, so IÂ can see if all that Bill Bryson wrote is true. It probably is, in which case, I want to go there – […]
Book: Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol 1
Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files Vol 1: I kinda bought this book just because I was bored, but, also curious about Judge Dredd. All I know about Judge Dredd is from the film with Stallone in it. Which I didn’t think was /that/ bad. I don’t know what it is, but, I seem to like […]
Book: The Sandman
The Sandman: I finished this series a few weeks ago, but, kept forgetting to log what I’ve read. As I can’t figure out what I have already logged on Live Journal, I’m just using this entry as a general entry for all the ones that I’ve read. Basically, fantastic story, really engaging. Bit of a […]
Book: Sandman – A Game of You (Volume 5) – Neil Gaiman
Sandman – A Game of You: Another fantastic instalment in the Sandman series. I am very curious about the Thessaly character. I hate the Wikipedia spoiler about it, in the small synopsis! I won’t repeat it here though. 🙂
Book: Sandman – Season of Mists (Volume 4) – Neil Gaiman
Sandman – Season of Mists: Fourth instalment – just as good as the rest! A really intriguing story, keeping me wondering what was going to happen next, and how the story was going to unfold, etc. This appeared to be just one big story, not multiple stories, concluding at the end, like volumes 1 and […]
Book: Sandman – Dream Country (Volume 3) – Neil Gaiman
Sandman – Dream Country: I finished this on Thursday night. I thought IÂ had more to read, otherwise I would’ve logged it last night. I think I may also have missed something in this one, as I haven’t actually read ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’ – not that IÂ can recall at least. I still enjoyed the stories […]
Book: Sandman – The Doll’s House (Volume 2) – Neil Gaiman
Sandman – The Doll’s House: More just a log entry. I finished this on the bank holiday weekend. It’s great. 🙂
Book: Crime and Punishment – Fyodor Dostoevsky
Crime and Punishment: I remember when I started to read this book (last year, perhaps the year before) that it seemed like it was going to be a complicated one. It wasn’t really as complicated as I had feared. The main complication for me was keeping track of the names of the people – I […]
Book: In the Beginning was the Command Line – Neal Stephenson
Book: In the Beginning was the Command Line This is a non-fiction look at the history of computer operating systems. It’s an interesting read, with some very amusing commentary, though it’s showing its age a bit now as it was written in 1999. If you were using computers in the ’90s, then I think you’ll […]
