[Jiggyhound]

i think i might buy the dante's inferno books sometime soon.

[an0n]

CRAP!

That's what I meant to get. The Divine Comedy.

Ah, **** it. I'll get it in a few weeks. I'm not in a poetry kinda mood.

[Knight Templar]

The Halo series will rock. Art of War is pretty nice too. Dunno' bout' the others.

[Corsair]

Not bad at all. 8 books for....how much in USD?

Meh. Whatever it is, it's a good collection...

[Stealth]

Corsair:  41.50 pounds would be about $70 US i think

[Gank]

50 quid, you got ripped boy, unless they were all hardback.

[an0n]

Not really. It just adds up quick.

Van Helsing: The Novel - £5.59
Great Expectations - £1.50
A Tale of Two Cities - £1.50
Halo: The Fall of Reach - £3.94
Halo: The Flood - £3.94
Halo: First Strike - £3.94

[Gank]

ahh, you bought them new. twat.

[an0n]

The only hardback books I own are:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche
Star Trek: Generations - **** knows
Colony - Rob Grant

Oh and a few bibles.

[mikhael]

Yeah, an0n got ripped. I can pick up all the Halo novels--not that I would touch anything that had a word by Dietz in it--for about $2 each at the local Edward McKays.

Mind you, $2 is about $27 too much to pay for anything Dietz wrote.  He's a hack that'll flog any half-witted plot idea you put in front of him.

[Fineus]

Pick up Good Omens - it's excellent.

[Gank]

Pratchetts Good Omens? good aye, picked up ten of the older discworld novels for a quid a couple of months ago, good stuff.

[Fineus]

Yep, Pratchett and Goodman (I think it's Goodman, havent got a copy handy).

It's the only book I've read more than 3 times though - and I do have a good collection of books.

By the by.. Pratchett is showing up in my town for a signing session on Tuesday. Party.

Yeah, but getting them cheaper would have required me to actually look.

And by buying them from Amazon in one huge lump I get simplicity and ease, which are more important to me than £10-£15 difference in total cost.

I coulda waited till tomorrow and took a stroll down to Ottakers and probably got Art of War, Five Rings and Van Helsing for half the price, and a look in a few other places coulda nabbed me the Halo novels, and I coulda got the Dickens novels from just about anywhere. But I'm a lazy, lazy man.

I thought owning Bibles was against your religion

[an0n]

Even Nietzsche advocated reading the Bible. Something about needing to get inside something and live it before tearing it down and salting the foundations.

GAIMAN. NEIL GAIMAN.

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, whatever shall we do with you?

Burning at the stake is, I think, indicated. Oh, you remember that thing you asked me about? I found it. PM me a temporary uname/password combination.

[Singh]

If you like ST books, try Star Trek: Federation or Vendetta, definately a worthwhile read

I know I know, sorry but Pratchett was the one that counted as far as I was concerned (not that Gaiman is a bad writer). Please don't burn me.

Oh, and PM on its way
