I headed out shortly after 5 with the intent of going to the cinema to see xXx<\/i>. It was however sold out by the time I reached the cinema. I wandered up to the other cinema thinking about Red Dragon<\/i>, but I wasn’t really in the mood for it. The book shop next door was open so I poped for a quick look. I picked up the The Demolished Man<\/i> by Alfred Bester. I really enjoyed the last book of his I read The Stars my Destination<\/i>. <\/p>\n
I wasn’t sure what I was gonna do for the evening now and I was wandering around the bottom of Kings Road heading towards Worlds End. The second hand book shop was open so I poped in there and found a few books. Nothing really special but stuff to add to the ‘to read’ pile. When I came out I noticed a new Starbucks across the road. Now we are talking 5 minutes walk from my place so that is good news \ud83d\ude42 Anyway I figured I would go in get a coffee and read for a while so I did. When that closed up around 7ish I started walking back home. Passing by my local I noticed (ok I was looking) that the comfortable couches were free. So I sat there for the next couple of hours reading.<\/p>\n
Enjoying the book a lot so far. This alongside ‘Stars’ is considered Bester’s best work and indeed two of the most influential sci-fi books of the 50s and indeed still to these days.<\/p>\n
According to AICN<\/a>, Tom Cruise will be playing Dirk Pitt in an adaption of Clive Cussler’s Sahara<\/i>. This is just so very wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I headed out shortly after 5 with the intent of going to the cinema to see xXx.
