  • half way through The End of Mr Y. now. liking it. Very interesting.

    That's a weird one, that - the second half of the book doesn't really fit with the first half. Almost like somebody got a Lovecraft horror and a Dan Brown thriller, ripped them both in half, then sellotaped two halves together to make a new one. I enjoyed it but it just seemed a bit disjointed.

    I'm currently reading The Emperor's New Mind by Penrose. Enjoying it. Picked it up because I read Douglas Hofstadter's I am a strange loop and thought it was so horrible that I needed to read the ripostes as a sort of mental two fingers up at Hofstadter. Turns out it's actually really very good, and Penrose comes across as a very nice chap too. Highly recommend it.
