Nope, never had man flesh, I hear it tastes like Ostrich if served with Orange though.
I just couldn't get into Sow/Harvest though and even though I didn't put them down like I have done with some of Martin and Mangles novels, it just took me the whole of the 2005 summer to read them both.

^ If it helps any, I've often had that feeling with Wardilmore books... EXCEPT Vanguard, where they're still a bit wordy, but their stories kick ass. The first quarter of each of their Vanguard entries is pretty slow, but the remaining 3/4 more than makes up for it.
I'm another person who wasn't that fond of Sow/Harvest, but I've really enjoyed most of their other stuff that I've read. Especially their Vanguard books, they're just as good as Mack's.
Now reading Jonathan Kellerman's When the Bough Breaks, the first Alex Delaware novel.
I was not at all impressed with John Sandford's Rules of Prey. I prefer my cops to be at least relatively decent, but Lucas Davenport is about as crooked as they come. Won't be reading the rest of the books.
Will finish reading When the Bough Breaks, about a quarter of the way in thus far, and so far it is not grabbing me. How these authors make so much money I don't know. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

That title is just ... I can't decide if I want to say "brilliant" or "groanworthy" ... but I love it either way.
It was a pretty comical story, I love the title too.
I'm now reading the second of the Vangaurd novels, Summon The Thunder
I'm still reading Bomber by Len Deighton. I am enjoying his portrayal of WW2-era German officers as misguided human beings instead of villains.
Wanted to Trek to past publications and have started reading "Dark Mirror" by Diane Duane.
Yesterday was my birthday and my mother-in-law gave me a $50 Amazon gift card. so I just ordered Indistinguishable from Magic, DTI: Watching The Clock, Children of the Storm, Declassified, Cast No Shadow and A Choice of Catastrophes; April through September's Star Trek books.

Currently reading Android Planet by John Rankine, a Space: 1999 tie-in novel. I first read it almost 35 years ago, but this is apparently a revised edition, to make it fit into the Powys Books Space: 1999 continuity (see, for example, Lonemagpie's Born From Adversity, published a year or so ago).
It's not really much more interesting than I remember it being the first time around. Of the 1970s Space: 1999 novels, I'd rank this below Alien Seed, maybe on par with Rogue Planet, above Phoenix of Megaron, and way, way below Earthfall.

Rereading the SCE books. Just finished Wounds and Out of the Cocoon. Good stories.
Finished both Bomber and Howard Zinn's You Can't be Neutral on a Moving Train recently. Now back to Vanguard #4, I think..
