plus he has/had (he's not sure) a cat, which puts him over the edge.

Well, he had a cat, he keeps it in a box, and its alive and dead at the same time unless he looks at it.

Pretty normal theoretical physicist really.

Currently reading:


My girl kept trying to make me read it, I caved and I'm glad I did. Really well written, it's the first in a series of Felix Castor novels. I'm near the end but it's getting really dark and horrible, but she assures me the rest aren't quite as nasty. I just can't put it down though, hehe.  :D

The devil not despicable here?  His actions are.  His demeanor here is that of the suave bad guy, but that doesn't make his actions less evil.

been doing a course recently so not much reading for pleasure.

The last book i read was 'The Road' by Cormack McCarthey. Its a post apocalyptic book by the author of 'No Country For Old Men' (another awesome book... good film too). Its about a man and his young son surviviving in a world thats gone a bit burned up. Id highly recommend it.

As I said previously, I have been reading The Road and enjoyed it a great deal ( the thread was still in religious debate phase at that time).

Yeah, they had it on at the London Film Festival, I thought about seeing it, but it sold out quickly.  I'm sure it won't be long before the cinema release.

ive seen the trailer and although it looks like a good film, i'd recommend reading the book before seeing it as i can imagine the film is going to be a bit different in tone.

I'm impressed by all you chaps with your non-fiction.
