Now I've got to stop buying books for a while and concentrate on reading them!
Yeh...stop dreaming already....

That's another excellent haul Fried Egg! Little BIG is a GREAT novel IMO and should have more airplay here being one of the best post-war Fantasy novels ever written that truly showcases Crowley's considerable literary skills. Anubis Gates is also very good, Powers' obvious dedication to researching his subject matter and ability to make a convincing fist of the time period the novel is set in a key highlight, albeit a lot of Powers fans seem to prefer Drawing Of The Dark.
