    Douglas Adams owns. I thought his later books in the "Hitchhiker's Guide" series weren't as good as the first, but they are still better then most of your average shit out there.

    unless I've misunderstood the whole concept of PB ^^
    No idea. The guy I talked to said it would come out in December. Then again, he seemed like an idiot. I'll see if Chapters has it.

    Hmm. Just a question: what novels are you guys looking forward to? I've been waiting for the release of Bard's Oath by Joanne Bertin since about 2001.

    I just got done with "An Inquiry into the Causes of the Wealth of Nations," aka "The Wealth of Nations." It was for my Economics Class. *_* Adam Smith tends to sound ranty and lectury, and goes on and on about something at times, but overall, it's a good read.

    Next, I'm thinking of Picking up George Orwell's "1984." People say that it's a good book but I've been putting off reading this book for some time. (Busy...)

    Get it, you need it.

    Tom Tommorrow - The Great Big Book Of Tommorrow

    Nothing like a big fat book of cartoons to waste the uneventful hours of the day with. Seeing as though it's a career retrospective, the 200+ pages of wordy comics is more of an omnibus on political events of the last decade than you might expect...

    Ypu'l always find me reading a sattire or fantasy, I tihnk I have to agree with Cyberxion on the fact that Douglas Adams DOES own. I usually read a bit of Terry Pratchett, currently halfway through Good Omens. Sometimes I'll read a bit of good ol' Terry Brooks, but only when Im in one of those nostalgic moods (Sword of Shannarha was one of the first books I ever read, not counting those 2 page popup books.)

    I also write a bit, but that'd be off subject, wouldn't it?
