General / Off-Topic Strange Question: Michael Brookes favorite book...

[Obsidian Ant]

In the live stream over Christmas Michael showed a small book, saying words to the effect that it is his favorite book (I forgot the exact words he used). I meant to go look the book up, but have since forgotten the title. In order to save me spending an age skipping through the old stream, does anyone happen to remember the books title?

I think it was "Internet stalkers and how to avoid them"

Well if that was the book, I could probably find it useful too...

I believe it was "Paradise Lost"

Which along with his Cthulhu obsession tells you a lot about MB

The answer can be found with a quick internet search: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Brookes/e/B008OGD8KG

I think he'd also written a blog about it not long before the live stream

I was expecting the answer to be "Charlie cooks favorite book".

Thanks Philip, I would never have thought to look on his Amazon bio.

Given the recent Dev Update I'd expected it to be Excel 2.0 for Dummies!

Now mix in Terry Pratchett and Ian M. Banks!

Actually, my bookshelf looks much the same. Add in BV Larson, Tom Holt and Terry Mancour and you pretty much cover the virtual shelves. Oh, and Alistair Reynolds too.

..and if isn't, it should be.

My favourite story is Paradise Lost - which was what I referenced in the live stream.

Mr Banks does write some very good books, I'm currently re-reading all of the Alan Dean Foster Commonwealth books - Set up with a 1 billion year timeline the race is on to save the Milky Way spread over a several saga's. Very good read IMO.

I can indeed confirm the book was Paradise Lost

I apologise, that's the last time I'll say how lucky I am
