Books wot I have read
=====================

.. warning::

   This page is very out of date.  `My Goodreads page`_ is probably a
   better place to look.

In keeping with the grand internet tradition of making completely
useless information available, I am going to keep a list of all the
books I read on my site.  To make this slightly less useless I am
including links to buy these books from Amazon.co.uk.  One of
these days I will get around to some reviews too...

I primarily read Fantasy and Sci-fi with some horror and the
occaisional straight fiction novel.

Here they are:
