I've read a few books recently that I feel the need to talk about.

One of the ones I got cheap when the Friar Street Bookshop closed was a BBC Doctor Who was Three, Jo, Iris Wildthyme and Tom (Verdigris). If it was fanfic it would be described as crack. It is completely mad - and only partly because it has Iris in it. As I was reading it I thought that the summary on the back didn't really describe the plot. But then I realised, I don't think it's possible to adequately describe the plot. But it has killer robot sheep in it.

I read another Three & Jo one yesterday (The Suns of Caresh), which was much more normal. At the start, there wasn't much of the Doctor or Jo, but I got so caught up with two of the other characters, I ended up not caring. It was a good book, although the Doctor introduced a question five pages before the end which was never solved. It bugged me, although obviously not for long because I can't remember what it was any more.

I got Emily of New Moon from the library and have just finished it. It was interestingly, and I think I'll get the other two, but I don't think I like Emily as much as Anne. Although with Anne of Green Gables it helped that I found the relationship between her and Matthew and Marilla really interesting. With Emily, the relationship between her, Aunt Elizabeth and Aunt Laura isn't nearly so interesting.

On a non-book related note, I watched Michael Palin tonight (there is TV on TV again!), which was really interesting. Although at the start he said he'd not really been to Eastern Europe and I think I've been to more of Eastern Europe than West!

I am also testing out the Trillian Astra (codename for 4.0 - the next release, not prizes for knowing where the Astra comes from) but I'll blog about that tomorrow.
