Just finished Ready Player One.

If you have any ties to the 80s at all, especially the video games/movie/music culture, you will love this.   Easy read, but the nostalgia factor is huge.

Oh hey, that book turned up on everybody's 'Best-of' lists last year. I'll have to find myself a copy. Sounds fun.

Shows what I know - I stumbled on it by accident.

Like I said, nothing groundbreaking, but I sure had fun reading it.   Some of the references, while not totally popular, were the ones I keyed on as a kid.

Before that, I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.  Those who I know who saw the movie, said the movie was horible, despite the screenplay being written by the author.   The book is not so much Abe being a super hero type character, but more on just how the sheer existence of vampires shaped history.

Back in the US for a couple of weeks. I can't quit buying books. Already spent about a hundred bucks.

What's the best e-reader? I'm tempted to buy one but I have no idea what to get. Really don't want to spend over two hundred.

I have Kindle on an IPad...fuckin' addicted.  I'd think there can def. be a lot of conclusions made on a person's reading material list as to what kind of person they are....for me, thats not a good thing.  ;D

Why?


Because they dictate you exactly how to use their devices. There's nothing 'open' about this arrogant company since they don't believe in users' freedom.
