Anyway, when I was a student at Plymouth uni I had a lot better things to be doing with my time than amassing 3000+ posts on internet forums in just over a year, go out and enjoy yourself and leave us anal old men to grammar police the forums.

What a good way to negate somebody elses post with a completely irrelevant comment. Something that is really, none of your concern.

I just finished The Algebraist - Ian M Banks; very enjoyable.

Also will add in Terry Brooks The Word and the Void trilogy as currently reading them and they are cracking books

Fantasy based in current times and leads onto the new pre Shannara books.

Well if you believe in grammar and stuff so much, you would easily be able to see the irony in my post without needing to ask would you?

What has irony got to do with grammar?

I think that this argument is probably best left alone now! For the sake of everyones mind's.

dark materials trilogy (northern lights, subtle knife and the amber spyglass) all FANTASTIC books.
"the stand" by stephen king - just an amazing book

as said before john grisham is pretty good, but if you like a bit of fantasy check out the 2 (5) above, they will keep you entertained for ages, and even though the stand is over 1000 pages long, when i finished it i still wanted more!!

You're probably right. We'll call it a draw

If you want Fantasy books that are readable on a bus - David Gemmell is ideal. He may be no literary genius, but he knows how to tell a bloomin' good story which will have you on the egde of your (bus) seat. Just try not to miss your stop when you get too engrossed.

Fiction / Science Fiction. Iain Banks (Fiction) - Iain M Banks (the M denotes his science fiction books) - All of them are brilliant. Check out "The player of Games" or "Excession" for Sci-Fi and "Walking on Glass" or "The Wasp Factory" for his fiction.

Michael Marshall Smith - start with Only Forward. Pretty straight forward with a slightly scifi-fantasy twist to his stories.

or for less of a scifi edge he also writes as Michael Marshall. Start with The Straw Men
