Well, I order freebies all the time. Nothing bad happens. The worst thing that happens is that sometimes they never come.

I have devoured a crap load of Manga this week. xD Most of them were borrowed from leenie.
I also somehow read three books in between watching Repo! xD I think Ill update once I get home from vacation.

I watched three movies this evening: The Secret of the Magical Gourd, Max Payne, and Babylon A.D.
All very different, but interesting in their own way...

All I've watched is Repo! xD Well we went and saw Watchmen the other night and it was fantastic.
Though Repo! some how keeps making it into the PS2 to replay. xD
Thanks to that movie I'm re-obsessed with Sarah Brightman. T_T

I am reading though! xD I made it to the third book in the Rachel Morgan series.

@killa - we have watched it a ridiculous amount of times.
we - dani (dream) and i - can sing along with most of the songs fairly well.
not to mention we do the graverobber handwave in 21st century cure at "cure" in exact timing.
i usually end up not finishing the wave and laughing my face off. XD

@kat - i still need to read almost prefect, then get that one. @_@
i mean. seriously.
when is torchwood not on crack?
second reality, whatever. i'll bet it was based off of second life. XD
yaaaay i saw that two(?) new ones were coming out in may.
i really want to read classic super hero comics like x-men and iron man and everything. but i would prefer to start at the (out of print) beginning and they keep going on and on without any end in sight. (like this manga i love that started in the 70s and only 30-something volumes are out and it's still being printed)
bwahaha, plots being easier and less stress-inducing for marvel-verse characters, what?

@cherry - free books! but i usually just stay away from those kinds. (non-fiction. XD)

@dani - stop eating my books. i want to read them later. i don't want to have to reconstruct them from pulp. >:[
wheeee watchmen~
.... giggle.
i sorry for making you crave the sexy old woman again. XD <3

@shadow - omg. lots of movies.
what's the magical gourd one? :0
we have watched repo! twice this evening. XD

ps.
dani is not kidding.
she was reading one book and the next day she was starting on the next one.
and these are kim harrison books, not little popcorns like manga.
speaking of, she read one of my 7-book manhwa series in about 3-4 hours. @______@;;

@leenie: Manwha's are short. xD The entire series only averaged about 1,300 pages. With pictures thats no big deal.
Sarah Brightman is so amazingly pretty, she's gotten better with age. I liked her a lot when I first saw and heard her seven years ago but now... Thanks.

DANI JUST TICKLED ME AND IT TICKLED.

I can't get anything free because I'm not a US resident. *sniff*

Tireth: The list of Torchwood novels on wikipedia is surprisingly helpful. I didn't realise there were books coming out in October as well or more radio dramas.

When I was on holiday last year I stole my dad's copy of Essential Uncanny X-Men (issues #1-24) and it is pretty funny. Everyone spends the first issue trying to chat up/instantly falling in love with Marvel Girl.

You are all book people up in here. Probably. One would think. Anyway, book people, YOU MUST MUST MUST read Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. <3 It's one of the most fantastic books I have ever read. <3 *is only half way through it and has already declared it so*

Oooo, that title alone sounds very interesting! Does it dip alot into Greek mythology?

I'm still reading the Merlin book, but I got some new books today in the mail, and I keep looking at them...I might start reading one of them and go back to the Merlin book. One of them is "Beastly" by Alex Flinn, which is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast from the Beast's perspective, another is Seven Towers by Patricia Wrede, and the third and most tempting is "The Stepsister Scheme" by Jim C. Hines. It is an "after the ever after" tale about Cinderella.

That "Beastly" book sounds fascinating! I'll have to find it somewhere.

This thread is so full of great reccomendations!

I have lost the want to read books. I've been such a bum about it. I go to Barnes and Noble, buy a crap ton of books...and then never read them. I think I need someone to kick me! Maybe I just read way too many books as a young child; so now I'm sort of tired of reading? That's a lame excuse...
