I've been reading this off-and-on for about the last year, nearly finished now. It's incredibly fucked up how there's people who don't really want to kill anyone, but if how they make money leads to people dying or being tortured, they'd like to make their money thanks very much. (although I guess you could say the same to some extent about anyone who's better off in Western society.) Other than that, I read 'For Richer, For Poorer' by Victoria Coren a few months ago. It's basically about her poker-playing. I'm not particularly interested in poker (I watch it on TV sometimes, but don't really play), but I liked it.

Well, the later radio shows (Dirk Maggs ones) are derivative of the books, which I guess means its a second derivative. And the TV series is worth watching just for Rod Lord's guide animations.
