Book Addendum:

Heh. Time for a "What Have You Been Reading" (or maybe a CSIPGA Movie
Reviews" thread?

Yes, but I am not doing books. I don't even read in games. ;)

I worked my way through seven of Ian Banks "Culture" novels. I sort of
ran out of steam before I got to the last book ("Hydrogen Sonata").
It's not that I don't want to read it (well, re-read) but I really
started yearning for something different. Bank's had his own unique
style but there's only so much of it I could take.

(oh, and with regards to movies, Star Trek Section 13 is as bad as
everyone is telling you. I can honestly say I enjoyed "Borderlands'
more... and that's saying something. It's not just a bad Star Trek
movie, it's just a bad movie all around; terrible cinematography,
awful story, tedious pacing, unexciting sets and set-pieces. As some
wag wrote, the only good thing you can say about Section 13 is that it
finally put to rest the question about which is the worst Star Trek
movie. ;-)

I was going to watch it as a Trek(ie/er), but decided not to after
seeing all the negative reviews and ratings. Even its trailers were bad.
I have other better things to do like play games. Wait, I don't even
play enough games these days. :(
