I dont see the need for a kindle if you have a decent enough smart phone.  I've found the font size that works best for me on mai Galaxy 3 and I don't need to lug around another bit of kit.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

I'm with you. I have the Kindle app on multiple computers and my phone. Works great and I have not felt the need for a dedicated e-reader.

Wait a few years. Reading tiny font on a phone will get old fast unless you are lugging around one of those monster 'phablet' phones or you crank up the font until each page has only 8 words. Also, e-readers are nice and light and can be read in direct sun without a lot of strain.

You guys need to start another thread.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

To get back on topic :), as stated above I started American Gods this week, but I got sidetracked and am in the middle of reading Playing at the World, which is a history of roleplaying games, D&D in particular. So at the moment I am currently working on American Gods, Playing at the World, and The Defense of Moscow 1941.

Please do a book review of Playing at the World when you finish for grogheads.

I read about 1/4 of Playing at the World (it's actually sitting right here next to me!).  Just based on that 1/4, if you are into D&D then you will enjoy the book.  The author goes into great detail about the origins and development of D&D, and how it ties into miniature wargaming.

It's a good, thorough book based on what I've read so far.  I recommend it.   O0

did you ever stop to consider that boob spelled backwards is boob?
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.
