No. It didn't have any of that *lemony goodness* that was in the last film. I think it cost me about £5 so I didn't pay for 2 books. I couldn't really understand why they split it into 2 parts.

Maybe it's about production cost, paper quality, and things like that.
By the way, the translated version of A Song of Ice and Fire is divided each book into two, in Germany. And each one is like 15 €.
In Germany, even book publishers fraggle you in the face.

I didn't add in any comics, as I am not actually reading any "at this moment".

I do read simpsons and futurama comics when I can get them...I don't really buy comics
too often, and I try to get the graphic novels (just several of the comics in one larger book) when I do
buy them. I hate paying full price, so I don't get them often. I do have most of the futurama graphic
novels, though, and one simpsons graphic novel and one simpsons single comic (it is a longer comic, though).

I also have a whole mess load of Peanuts graphic novels and books, two Hagar the Horrible graphic novels
and two Wizard of Id graphic novels. I am hoping to get a couple of Beetle Bailey graphic novels for
christmas.

I also have the Snarfquest book - I have been trying to get the graphic novel, which includes further adventures
beyond the book - can't find one for less than $50 so far, and I just don't want to pay that much for it.

But again, as I am not actually reading these "at this moment", I didn't include them.

Book 10 in Wheel of Time series. Read all the others really fast, excluding book 5 if I recall correctly. This one as was book 5 focused on annoying characters for too long and it's been over a year of me trying to finish it. Now that it quit focusing on that and is onto others I've just about finished it. Then its 4 more books till I finish the series. From there I'll travel back to the Dune universe and read the books I've got waiting on me. All slow going with 6 classes this semester :( . My life is all studying and no fun now...

If I ever go to Germany I'm never going to a publishers house. Thanks for the warning KK.

Oh, their corporate douchebag dicks are long enough to manhandle you from quite a distance.
Back to topic, please. You know I can't cope trying to hold back my complaints and grievances with tongue in cheek.

Just finished Plague (by Michael Grant, Gone series Book 4).

I will probably reread the Ender's Game series and Ender's Shadow series after I finish the last 2 books in the series. (I just watched the Ender's Game movie and wasn't as disappointed as I expected to be.)
Do you PBP? I do. See my exploits below.

Think I'll expand on what I'm reading. My main reading (currently Cornwell's and Pratchett books) is on the train to and from work giving me an hour or so of reading but speaking of comics, at home I'm up to Asterix and the Normans. I'm also almost finished The Knights Tale from The Canterbury Tales and also read various Pitkin books (those typical history books at UK tourist / historical sites in the UK. I've been to the UK three times now and brought back a couple of them but have since ordered many online. They've basically about the Roman occupation or Medieval history in general.

Make sure you stop after book 28 - Asterix and the Magic Carpet. The series is a bunch of flying *lemony goodness* after that.
