It's a huge improvement over The Secret History.

Bloods is an excellent book. I need to read that again!

Still rereading Iain M. Banks' excellent Matter, Anthony Beevor's Crete 1941 and Lionel Casson's Travel In The Ancient World.
On August 28 I will be ordering Sir Terry Pratchett's (R. I. P.) last one, the Tiffany Aching novel The Shepard's Crown, S. M. Stirling's new Emberverse novel The Desert and the Blade, Adam…

His Grandmother, who he inherited the house from.

I have got to get the Frisky Dingo DVD set when I get my first proper paycheck at the end of the month.

My local NBC station showed the original series on Saturday afternoons when I was a kid. That one is my favorite, too.

You mean when Johnny steals your money while you're asleep and goes out to score smack?

[shoves Joey Jo-Jo Jr Shabadoo into an open grave]

Because they were ripped off from the Templars. Oops, I said it out loud!

Probably Media Studies. It's not a real discipline.

"Clinton?!"

Me too!

Holding out for Fallout 4. Hopefully It won't render me unable or unwilling to do anything else. With the DLCs New Vegas kept me playing for five years, so I've got high hopes for this.
