I don't have that one, but if you decide to toss that gift card out... we can be best friends.  :-*

Finished Palahnuik's Diary and it sucked.
Finished Horwitz's Confederates in the Attic and it was pretty good.

Now I'm back to Shelby Foote's Civil War Narrative. I'm into Volume 2 - 150 or so pages down, another 800 to go!

Waiting on my shelf...

Civil War Narrative Volume 3
Thomas Paine's Common Sense
Washington's Secret War: The Hidden History of Valley Forge
Boone: A Biography
LOTR The Hobbit
LOTR Fellowship of the Ring
LOTR The Two Towers
LOTR Return of the King
Rainbow Six
A Bridge Too Far

Darn, wish I had known about that deal sooner - out of stock, now.

- Will Urban Meyer hang a hundred on Lane Kiffin?[/b]
60 point game for Florida. Alabama doesn't tend to run the score up, but could potentially put up 40.

- Will Bob Stoops win his first BCS bowl game in forever?
No. Choke artist.

- Will Jim Tressel win his first BCS bowl game in forever?
No. Choke artist.

- How many times will Lane Kiffin violate NCAA rules?
Starting now? The guy is hilarious - makes me love the SEC even more.

- Will Charlie Weis finally be fired?
Not until season's end. He's a placeholder for Urban.


National Championship prediction:

I'll guess Florida 28, Oklahoma 14.

Polystone. Terrible idea - should have used plastic.

I kind of like it but the nose is too bulbous to me... I'll just hold onto my Sith Anakin.

I really, really wanted the throne version until I saw how huge and out of proportion it was. And then I saw how huge and out of proportion the price tag was, too. No thanks, regular version for me!

I'm gonna have to check that out, Matt. I've been wanting to read Lucifer's Hammer, Earth Abides, The Postman, and whatever other apocalyptic/SHTF books I can find. The Road got me into it. World War Z wasn't bad, either.

I'm seeing really, really bad reviews on the OSC novel, but the plot sounds cool. How is it?

Let us know how it turns out... I hope I don't regret canceling!

Now reading Confederates in the Attic...

Question for you guys - should I read Hobbit before or after I read the LOTR trilogy?

Finished James Joyce's Dubliners. Really, really enjoyed it! Took me a while to get through A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, but breezed through the short stories with ease. Great, diverse characters in a very interesting time period (days of Irish Nationalism)...

Now I'm on Palahnuik's Diary. Chuck is really starting to bore me, all of his novels remind me of this little smiley,



I'm intrigued with the story, but all of the characters, all of them, are always woe-is-me, whiney and bitchy, and they all seemingly have the exact same thought process and dialogue. What was wonderful and original in Fight Club was sort of familiar in Choke, but now its just worn out...

I've got a few books headed my way.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense
Washington's Secret War: The Hidden History of Valley Forge
Boone: A Biography
The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Boxed Set


Also on the shelf is Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Cornelius Ryan's A Bridge Too Far, and the remaining two volumes of Shelby Foote's Civil War Narrative.
