RE: Library weekend? - Joe Poncho - 9 February 2012 Due to unforeseen circumstances I will not be able to make this one. RE: Library weekend? - Skean Dhude - 9 February 2012 Joe, Not a problem. If it all goes OK then we will arrange others. RE: Library weekend? - NorthernRaider - 10 February 2012 Hurrmph, best laid plans of mice and men, I was planning on reading an extract from one particular damn good book and encourage folks to buy it, but I've hit difficulties with the author so I'm scrapping that idea (another lesson learned). So I'm struggling to find anything else that I feel would fit the occasion so to play safe and not to rattle any more cages I'll just list the books I currently keep on my bookshelf, its not a complete list by any means, but I get the feeling life will be easier if I let people find books for themselves. Book list, factual and fictional. Northern Raider One set for reference and planning, the other set for mental preparation of how to handle likely scenarios. AfterLight Alex Scarrow Aftermath, Charles Sheffield (Very Good) After Doomsday, Poul Anderson Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand (Hard to grasp ) Alas Babylon, Pat Frank (Truly a superb classic) Amerikan sunset, Jennifer Ladewig (Drivel) A Wrinkle in the skin, John Christopher (A character essay ) Black Sun, Robert Leininger Very good Blood Crazy, Simon Clark Crabs, Guy Smith Comet, (The) Robert Charles Very Good Damnation Alley, Roger Zelazny Better than the movie Day after Tomorrow, (The) Whitley Strieber Day by Day Armageddon J L Bourne (SUPERB BOOK ) Day By Day Armageddon Beyond Exile J L Bourne ( 2nd in series) Day of the Triffids, John Wyndham Death of Grass, John Christopher Deathlands, Jack Adrian Deluge, Fowler Wright Deluge, Richard Doyle Drought ,(The) JG Ballard thought provoking Drowned world, (The) JG Ballard interesting Down to a sunless sea, (either version) David Graham (Truly great, another classic) Earth Abides, George R Stewart 2nd only to Alas Babylon Earth Winter, Richard Moran Eternity Road, Jack Mc Devitt Interesting future shock Empire of Ice, Richard Moran Empty World John Christopher Famine, Graham Masterson Flood, Richard Doyle Freeman, (The) Jerry Ahern Heavy Weather, Bruce Sterling Ice, Arnold Federbush depressing Icefire, Judith & Garfield Reeth Stevens entertaining Ice Quake, John R Spencer Kraken Wakes, (The) John Wyndham Last Light Alex Scarrow Last Ranger, (The) Craig Sargeant ( Rambo wannabe crap) Living is Forever J Edwin Carter Lucifer's Hammer, Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle.

My Favourites are ALAS BABYLON and Patriots, and Day By Day Armageddon, but One Second After is gaining in my esteem. RE: Library weekend? - NorthernRaider - 10 February 2012 Y'know what bugger him, I'm going to read an extract from his book if my back lets me get to the event, and if I can create a demand for his book the bugger will have to get more printed ![]() I've spoken to and been told off by David Crossley author of TFNS ![]() RE: Library weekend? - Scythe13 - 30 March 2012 Stupid panic buying!!!!!!!!!!
