POPSTerry pratchett recieves Knighthood First, congratulations Terry Pratchett. Mr. Pratchett has done much to spread the word about Alzheimer's disease. He should also be congratulated for these good works. Terry is a good example that Alzheimer's disease knows no boundaries. It can strike anyone at anytime. Terry is to be admired. He decided to fight and to me this is a good thing. Terry is a good role model to all of us. His wonderful attitude is uplifting to millions of families that know and understand the devastation called Alzheimer's disease.

POPSArise, Sir Terry continues: The author has also made major donations to the Alzheimer's Research Trust after announcing that he had been diagnosed with the brain disorder last year. Robert Plant, the lead singer of Led Zeppelin, was also made a CBE for services to music. The band, which has sold 300 million albums worldwide, reunited for a single show at London's O2 arena.

POPSGroundhog Nightmare Early onset Alzheimer's disease seems to be on the rise. HBO produced a documentary about this issue. So sorry for anyone who remembers that they once knew something after they have to deal with it each day! The Nightmare version of Groundhog Day!

POPSThe Dark Side of the Sun This is one of only two hard sci fi parodies that I know of by British author Terry Pratchett (more famously the author of the Discworld novels.) Strangely, many seemingly unrelated sword-and-sorcery themes are brought up in this book only to be developed in the Discworld novels.

POPSThe Godchecker "Godchecker is 100% non-denominational. All Gods are welcome, whether Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Slavonic, or of No Fixed Abode. Polytheism is much more fun than monotonous monotheism. The Gods are queuing up to get in! And Terry Pratchett fans, Tolkien afficiandos, Douglas Adams devotees and Harry Potter nuts will love our selection of Goddities!"

POPSSF Author: Robert Shea The Illuminati: inside joke - or hellish conspiracy? Were they harmless cranks? Or a hellish conspiracy of psychotic lost souls hidden for centuries, unleashing a weird evil on an unsuspecting, defenceless world? It was Saul Goodman's lousy luck to pick up the trail from some underground memos in a bombed-out office. It was the heavy case he always dreaded. So it was that one tired cop set out on a wild, bizarre quest for a secret society that spanned centuries, crossed continents, drugged generations - and stooped to any depth of degradation to self-destruct a whole world.. In the far-out vein of Vonnegut's humour and Castaneda's mind-games, here is Illuminatus - part 1 - the closest thing to a cosmic kaleidoscope between soft covers. Or a bone-freezing blueprint of disaster to come? The Eye in the Pyramid (The first book in the Illuminatus! series)

POPSSF Author: Robert Rankin This story uncovers suburbia's darkest secrets - mostly in The Flying Swan, a cosmic Rovers Return where Neville the barman and Archroy, owner of five magic beans, do battle with beasts of the occult and in particular the rather unpleasant Pope Alexander VI, the last of the Borgias. The Antipope (The first book in the Brentford series)

POPSSF Author: Robert Nye
Expansive, sprawling, unruly and oversized - like his stomach and everything about him, the memoirs of the most beloved comic figure in the history of literature take the unsuspecting reader into the world of a character so audacious that, apparently, even the Bard himself could not do him justice. Larger-than-life, irascible and still lecherous at the advanced age of eighty-one, Falstaff recounts these outrageously bawdy tales as an antidote to popular legend that are guaranteed to tell you some things you never thought you needed to know about his life and times. Who killed Hotspur? What really went on at the battle of Agincourt? And what was it that made the wives of Windsor so merry? As we romp through history with this most entertaining of guides, the Middle Ages come alive in a rich tapestry of sights and sounds in another stunning novel from the author of The Late Mr Shakespeare. Falstaff: Being the Acta Domini Johannis Fastolfe, or Life and Valiant Deeds of Sir Jo

POPSSF Author: Jack Cohen In the year 2270, with travel to the nearby planets well established, a bizarre discovery is made on Callisto, the eighth moon of Jupiter. Dozens upon dozens of strange wheeled artifacts-wheelers- are found buried beneath the icy surface. No one knows what they were used for and who left them in our solar system. At the same time, it is discovered that the moons of Jupiter have moved from their age-old positions. A quickly formed expedition finds that Jupiter is inhabited by a race of balloon-like aliens, who defend their world against comet strikes by moving their moons using gravitational technology. This time, though, their redirection is aiming an incoming comet directly at Earth! Communication at first proves impossible, but an Earth child who has an intuitive understanding of animal behavior becomes the key to contacting them-and joining forces with them to save the world.
