I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Last week, I finished reading "Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut, and really enjoyed it. I'll be sure to read more of his work in the future. |

They totally count I reckon Sounds good, and the Slaughterhouse Five is a classic. One of the last sci-fi I read was a collection too, and it's got some great stuff in it |

^ He was amazing, huh? Especially live 'Do Androids...' but some of his shorts are just as good, or better. Still haven't quite got round his alternate history one, Man in the Highcastle? Can't quite recall the title.

That was one of the first ones I read, I believe it is called "the Man in the High Castle" but it has been a very long time since I read it.

Began 'El Tunel' (the tunnel) by Ernesto Sabato, a classic of Argentine literature. Short and instantly grabbing, highly recommended if you want something easy and fast to read, yet with originality and thoughtful.
