The Taint's your average DW romp - a not-bad, plot-led story with the added advantage of Fitz. (o: Interference is a great book, though I loved part 1 a lot more than part 2, when it all gets a wee bit too clever for its own good. Frequently arsey but definitely one of my favourites and I do rec it. You'd need to read Interference before TAC I think, to really get the most out of TAC.

I've read The Turing Test and Father Time in the dim and distant but I don't remember much about either, which is good, I guess, since I'm just about to embark on the amnesia arc. I've put in a bid for Wolfsbane on ebay - have you read that? Or Fear Itself? I'm wondering how 8 works in the framework of a past Doc book?

Very much looking forward to reading your fic.

Hrm. I seem to recall that Wolfsbane triggered my 'I don't mind fantasy or myth but would prefer you keep it out of my science fiction, thankyouverymuch' tweak. Not to mention the fact that I'm not a huge fan of Jacqueline Rayner's writing.

Fear Itself is one I enjoyed quite a bit, though. It's an odd book and kind of dark so it's not everybody's cup of tea. The Doctor spends a lot of time not being very Doctor-ish and Anji's storyline is good, but doesn't quite make sense emotionally given where she is in her 'character arc'. (Too close both in time and emotion to Dave's death for some of it to ring true.) I sound like I'm being picky, but I really did think it was a good read.
