Books are good

[thebitterguy]

Excited about game tonight. We've been on hiatus for a month now, so getting back into the game will be fun. We're going for "rescue mission, pt 2"

The Annihilation:Conquest HCs are heavy tomes. Physically heavy. I got Nova: Knowhere this week, so I decided to give them a readthrough again, and whoa, that ain't easy. I'll need some time alone on the couch to get through those.

I got Knowhere with a Chapters GC, and also got a D&D book (Manual of the Planes 4E) and a book on the Canadian Newspaper Wars by one of my old Journalism school teachers.

Only $5. I feel kinda bad about that.

What I've mostly been reading have been books on the iPhone, though. I have done 1984 and Little Brother so far, and have started A Princess of Mars.

I want the second book of Annihilation: Conquest and Nova: Knowhere. Plus I understand Guardians of the Galaxy is in trade paperback form now.

Good times.

Cool. I was waiting for the GotG trade, but I'm not too excited about this "War of Kings" thing they're doing now.

Admittedly, the Inhumans invading Kree space by lifing Attilan up and makign it a starship is kinda cool, but the whole thing seems kinda goofy. A bit too Civil War for me.

Eh, I'm not focusing on the War of Kings at all.

When the trade comes out, I might look at it.

Glad to hear that you're doing some reading, other than comics, mate! :) I haven't read 1984 in years, but did enjoy Little Brother when it came out. And of course, I adore the ERB stuff.

I'm currently reading Jack McDevitt's Deepsix, and have to say that this is one of the best books that he'd written in publication order up to that time. Priscilla Hutchins is one of my favourite characters, but he's putting her through the wringer in this one.

And I'm looking forward to tonight, and the re-launch in a manner of speaking of my Universe rpg game... :)
