Davros swivels and looks at the 2nd bottom shelf of his secondary book case - OMG - it's still there (and gathering more dust than the Gor books  ).

Its nice to see that other people also hate this book with the passion I reserve for it! But like yourself Davros, I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of a book - no matter how bad I thought it was. For some reason I just keep getting this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that I might one day want to read it again... :s
Tancred - I expect I will read Heretics and Chapter House anyway, I've actually heard that they pick up a bit compared to God Emporer, and I want to finish the series in some way. Whilst I think God Emporer failed to interest me in the characters in the slightest way I still want to find out what happened next!
Also I'd like to agree with Bardan about the Konrad trilogy - in their classification that is. Its weird to see books with such ridiculous amounts of sex and violence classified as childrens stories. I read them when I was really young though, so I can't really comment on the ending - I can't remember it! I'll have to have another look at them soon.
