    Three books I'm waiting to be released, each one the third in a trilogy. 1. Emperor of Thorns (The Broken Empire #3) by Mark Lawrence. 2. Day Three: The Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss 3. The Blood Mirror (Lightbringer #3) by Brent Weeks In the mean time I think I'll settle with the "Shadow's Mastet (Shadow's Son Trilogy) by Jon Sprunk (Sprunk not spunk, you dirty sods).

    A Direct X book for Windows 8 (not WinRT, normal Windows 8, the most recent Direct X book I have found is for Windows 7, and none of the examples work on 8)!

      My local library does loan eBooks in ePub format, but the website is so poor that I haven't used it in anger yet.

                  The Book of the Tales of Caunterbury: Redux

                  “Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed”
                  “One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated”

                  Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535)

                    More Amber books a la Roger Zelazny. Unfortunately he's dead.

                    If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                    You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

                      I'm awaiting the soft-cover release of the next "Pendergast" [^] novel by Preston & Child. I read way too much buy hard cover.

                            I don’t think there is a software developer who doesn’t know what is “O'Reilly”. I just don’t like most of their "books". Or should I say “technical references”.
