i still have a box full of star trek novels from when i was a kid. this feels like Nerds Anonymous or something

Thankfully those Dr Who books are not aimed at kids like the new series ones are.

I miss the days when I could pick up a Dr Who book about 17th century whores in London summoning bloodthirsty bestial apes using tantric sex

it's obviously an allusion though, so you probably should read dostoevsky first.

i have it sitting on my bookshelf but it is... daunting.

The thing that I am reading at the moment right now is The Sweethere After. My boyfriend told me it's a good book and so far from what I am reading it's a good book.

I'm reading Mark E.Smith's autobiography, 'Renegade', which seemingly appeared out of nowhere. No I'm not a big fan of the title either.
It's pretty short, but I've still not finished it, and at first it's casual rant-like structure took me off guard... Sure, such revelations if you're a Fall fan but could you really recommend it to anybody else?

As I've got on with it, 'Renegade' seems to be developing into something really quite special, the similes he comes up with and the style is just so MES. He'll be talking about a totally mundane subject but always unearth the strange and remarkable; just like your typical Fall song really.

Each chapter is footnoted by excerpts from (what I am presuming) is an upcoming novel; and it seems that Smith is having us on with this ghost-writer/Daily Mail 'expose of the week' malarkey. At least that's my theory, I haven't finished it yet.

Urban have you got your copy yet??
