SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I have not read Gene Wolfe extensively but I remember Soldier of the Mist being amazing.

Which is actually four books, or two omnibus editions. But it is good.

Awesome.
I have signed first of Vance's Dying Earth. It's extra special, because I bought it unsigned and got lucky enough to meet him a couple of years later.

Cool. It's probably worth a few quid.

I'm pretty sure my BotNS books aren't first edition, but i'll have to check now!

I got them in a second-hand mail order book sale - had no idea that they were signed until they arrived. All four paperbacks for £5 IIRC.

So, I just finished Bubba and the Dead Woman...hee-larious, (and free, if you dig eBooks)...not a lot of game potential there, but she apparently has some supernatural books that I've put in the queue for later reading.

Just started my first Elmore Leonard novel, Pronto, mostly because I'm hooked on the TV show Justified.

Ha ha. No. He is a big old guy, mostly blind   and kind of grumpy. Well he was grumpy to the guy in front of me anyway. He was super nice to me, and we talked for a while. He was a regular joe, really, and very easy to talk to. This was at a signing in '96 or '97, whenever Nightlamp came out.

Just finished War and Peace. It's a lot better than I thought it would be, and not actually a slog at all.

Picked up kindle editions of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker books this morning. I haven't even glanced at these since the eighties, but i could use a laugh, and i seem to remember that they're pretty good space adventure as well as being very amusing.
Does anyone think digital watches are neat anymore?
