Wow, that's one of the corniest looking SciFi covers I've ever seen.

Been wanting to quit my job for a year or two... but the right thing hasn't come up, yet. I desperately need a new job, though.

I'll buy the extra DLC, but no way I'm buying this game twice for an extra mini-mission.

I hadn't had high hopes for Washington's Secret War, since I picked it up in a bargain bin - now I'm excited to read it. Gotta agree with your take on Cornelius Ryan - he's sort of like the Shelby Foote of WW2. I bought Longest Yard and Bridge Too Far years ago, dunno why I read one and not the other. May have burned myself out after reading Rommel and Patton's books.

I can probably hook you up with SOTE, KOTOR I & II, and Republic Commando.

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?
