Nicki: Brilliant artist and author extraordinaire who moonlights as a lawyer. Intelligent, talented, beautiful, and so freaking nice to boot: just makes me want to shake her and exclaim, “There’s got to be something wrong with you!”Unfortunately, for nasty navel-gazing copyright reasons (Thanks a bunch Disney), Nicki's masterpiece cannot be sold in the US and UK. Australian and Canadian book

One of my favourite books of all time. I had no idea of the existence of this beautifully bound illustrated hardback edition, which I chanced upon while browsing the shelves at Reader's Feast.Details on Amazon.

Amazon reviewer: "One date to remember when reading this work is that it was first released in June of 1992 after three years in the making. This is critical, as so much of what was absolute fiction then, may now be found within the pages of Wired Magazine. There are even words he originated that are common to most people who use a computer, especially if you have ever tried what he calls the

It was a relief of sorts to see ideas in my mind that had been clear as mud being articulated by a brilliant mind in a clear and captivating style. I found myself exclaiming, 'EXACTLY!" every second sentence or so :D The book is also surprisingly funny. I laughed out loud in several places. I've learned of many nifty things from this book, one of which is the Brights. I am now a registered

I have read several excellent books lately and am hard-pressed to designate one as my favourite for 2007 to date. Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman! is definitely in the running for the title and is a must-read. Thanks, J for the recommendation!Feynman was such a character. I fell in love with him within three pages of the book :D"There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things,

Just finished this book and highly recommend it for curious minds. The writing style is a little melodramatic once in a while but it is a great read for the most part. The material is mind-boggling and is certainly food for thought.More information here

Another brilliant epic by Hamilton - Judas Unchained Fans will be pleased to know that there will be 3 more books on the way which continue on from Judas Unchained. The first of the three is due sometime in 2007 *WHOO HOOOOO! *

By Peter F. Hamilton LOVED the 'Night's Dawn Trilogy'. Hope Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained is as good. Update: BRILLIANT BOOK! LOVED IT! Can't wait for the release of Judas Unchained in the smaller sized paperback (oversized paperback would absolutely kill my wrists when reading in bed).Must read
