Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Off Topic: Red Dwarf
I've now moved away from sci-fi, to gripping action - Tom Clancy, and a hell of a lot of the SAS guys books, that have come out over the past couple of years - Andy McNab (Bravo Two Zero) amongst others, Johnny "Two Combs" Boat Troop etc. and Chris Ryan (The One that got away) and again a few others.
Andy McNab, and Chris Ryan, were both part of the team (Bravo Two Zero) who got comprimised in Iraq during the Gulf War, Andy was caught and captured, Chris was split away from the group, with two others, one of which died of exposure, the other caught, and eventually ended up with Andy. Chris Ryan managed to trek 300 ks to the Syrian border and escaped!
Hell of a story, and these guys can really write a gripping book!
Theres my literature lecture for the day :)

oh please, I've been reading Douglas Adams for YEARS!!!!
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul were read ages ago :) but it's time to re-read them (man, if read all the new [non-technical] things I want to, as well as re-reading the ones I loved, I'd never do anything else!)
I is old, kiddo -- been reading science fiction since I was 15
