So Emily got me 29 Doctor Who books for my birthday, and I've been trying to read them in chronological order, which is hard because their numbered all funny. What follows is a log of the books I've read so far, and a breif summery.

1. Doctor Who and the Unearthly Child. Two school teachers follow a young girl to her home to find she lives in a telephone booth with a creepy old man. Well the telephone booth is really the TARDIS and the creepy ol man is the doctor. the two teachers stumble into the booth only to find its really a time ship. (Time And Relative Dimensions In Space, actually.) so the doctor is forced to take them along his travels rather than have them go back and tell everyone on earth about him. Then they have a sort of played out caveman adventure which I was less than impressed with.

2. Doctor Who and the Daleks. This story finds the doctor, and his companions battling the merciless Daleks. (no really they actually removed mercy from their emotional structure [along with love, compassion, and affection]) the funny thing is the Daleks look pretty rediculous...sort of like a salt shaker with a gun and a suction cup arm.... hardly a frightening image but nonetheless they become the doctors greatest foe in the future and have spawned legions of other plots to take over earth and the galaxy and mebbe all existance as well.

On another note, if you are sick of boring music check out sounds are active which has some very original and crazy fresh new junk happenin.

thats all for now. Im off to finish my latest Doctor Who book: Marco Polo.
