Found Ozric Tentacles on myspace ... oooooh!
lol
The things we do when we're awake when others are asleep! lol
Also started reading Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell again. I swear the ads on telly at the mo for the new Keanu Reaves film "the illusionist" look very much like elements of that novel. It's such a good book (by Susannah Clarke if you wanna find it and give it a go) and I remember reading it in very great excitement at the time. It was when Mrs B and I were first dating and she was working in the book store. It was just before Xmas and this book was stacked up to the rafters as it made a good display in being released in both black with white words and white with black writing covers. I kept looking at it but had already spent all my disposable income on pressies for others. For Xmas my godmother gave me a gift voucher for WHSmiths and I found a copy (the last one, mind) of this book on the shelf reduced from 18 squids to the ten to which the value of my voucher had been made! Woo Hoo Hoo, thought I and I snapped it up in a trice and promptly lost myself for a few days in the adventures contained therein!
Very good book indeed. I'd highly receommend it. It has 18th Century magicians, dabbling in Fairie magic (of a scarily believable sort), with mirrors and potions and intrigue and love and war and the faint smell of sulphur! Very enjoyable indeed.
