			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Well I finished my 3rd Sam Bourne book last night, it again wasn&#8217;t bad. It wasn&#8217;t as good at the 1st one but then it wasn&#8217;t bad either, it couldn&#8217;t have been as I got through it in around 3 weeks.. possibly a little less.</p>
<p>So, now, I&#8217;m back at being bookless. I can&#8217;t reread books, which is strange as I can watch the same movie over and over again. So that means it&#8217;s off to Borders books tomorrow in search of the next one. </p>
<p>Finding the right book for me is a little challenging at times, I do like Sci Fi, I like good twisting turning thrillers, especially if they have a background in folk lore or religious belief, although not that struck on Dan Brown. So any suggestions are very welcome!</p>
<p>Having been on a bit of a search round the net I&#8217;ve just discovered that <a href="http://livinginnz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/image6.png"><img style="border-right:0;border-top:0;border-left:0;border-bottom:0;" height="148" alt="image" src="http://livinginnz.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/image-thumb6.png?w=101&#038;h=148" width="101" align="right" border="0"></a>Iain Banks (or in my case Iain M Banks &#8211; the M signifying he&#8217;s written a Sci Fi novel) has a new one out, and it&#8217;s a Culture Novel which is great. I&#8217;m a massive Iain M Banks fan I have to say and it&#8217;s not just cos he&#8217;s Scottish (He&#8217;s from Fife!). It&#8217;s all thanks to my mate Grant who about 10 years ago while on holiday in Jamaica and waiting for the storm to pass he handed me &#8216;Player of Games&#8217; which is a fantastic read and I was hooked. I&#8217;ve now, over the years read all of his M Banks books, mainly on holidays or long flights I have to confess. I have found pretty much found them all really good, with perhaps the exception of <i>Consider Phlebas</i> which was a bit hard going but got there in the end.</p>
<p>So&#8230; tomorrow, it&#8217;s a trip to Borders (which I love spending hrs in I have to say) and search for &#8216;Matter&#8217;.</p>
