heh
his next couple are better.

the trouble is, my mate bangs on about him, and his books as if they are the best things ever written, and refuses to listen to sense, despite half of my large collection of sci fi being better.

I'm not understating how big this book is either. It is enormous.

My experience of him is the longer the book, the worse it is.
My housemate subjected me to quite a bit of his stuff. Also, Dan Simmons. He can fuck off as well.

not familiar with Dan Simmons
I've already got to the point where I can do without reading this Hamilton book, so I don't have to damage myself in the process.

The thing is about 6" by 8" by 4". That's too fucking big for a book that isn't a reference tome.

Only trouble is, I think I may have disfgured the book by putting a warm plate on it, among other things, so may have to buy a copy to give back to my mate, leaving me with a potentially crappy book that I will never read.

However, if I have my own I can cut it into smaller pieces to read....
