Ahhh. So nice to talk about Doctor Who books on a nongeek forum. All my friends give me weird looks and change the subject.

Meh. This time next year they'll be begging me for a lend.

He gets the names of all his guests wrong. "And now, V Graham Norton."
Dan: Mark Morris any good? I found Deep Blue new for AU$4, which is a bit of a steal.

Speaking of incredibly grim graphic violence, check out Mick Lewis's BBC books, too (esp Rags).

Star Trek crossover? Urgh.
I didn't have a problem with the eighth Doctor, it's the crap movie built around him that sucked. And his dialogue. And his stupid half-human nonsense. And harrassing strangers about their future. And the wacky TARDIS interior. And the snogging. And the wig. And the Master. And the plot. And the credits.

I've just crossed the halfway mark, and I feel like taking tonight off just to finish it. Books rarely have that effect on me.

Jonathon Morris is a complete and total star, Adam; have you read _Fesitval Of Death_ or _Anachrophobia_?

Ahahaha. As luck would have it, they're the other two Jonathan Morris books I have, and I've not read either. Having seen no Tom Baker at all since I was about 10, I can't remember what he's like at all, so I'm holding off on Festival of Death until our local telly network gets to him [reruns four nights a week; currently they're 1/3 through the Pertwee stuff].
I've not read Revolution Man, and after those sterling reviews I don't think I will now. :)

Timeless next. I've a real soft spot for Steve Cole's prose, even if his plots don't always deliver.

I've started rereading the Virgin books and it's kind of staggering (overall) how much more ENJOYABLE the first few (barring the completely horrifying _Timewyrm: Apocalypse_) are than the recent BBC 8DAs. COME BACK JOHN PEEL, ALL IS FORGIVEN etc etc.

I didn't LOL as much as I was expecting but I think that's because I've been very very tired this week.

The best part is, the range has since maintained that high standard. I'm officially hooked on these bloody books.

I have high hopes for Synthespians; Craig Hinton has long been on my "most underrated Who author" list (and I just started rereading his first NA, _The Dimension Riders_).
