  • I have a $50 Barnes and Noble Gift Card...

    What should I spend it on?

    Basically this is a what book should I read next (or DVD I should buy I guess).

      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Naw... no PC games. My poor 3 year old laptop probably couldn't handle them .

          Hmmm... I'm thinking that $13 of the $50 may be the paperback one volume version of the "Chronicles of Narnia", which I've been meaning to read.

              Do so before the movie comes out!

              I just finished the Farseer Trilogy and really liked it (thanx to whoever suggested that). Also, I am waiting on the third installment of the Obsidian Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey, who some say is to girly, but I am liking this series. Next on my list is The Divinci Code for no better reason than I have nothing else to read.

                Yeah, I think I want to spend it before 2 years from now .

                And besides, I think the next HP book will only set me back $20 .

                  Have you dabbled into the world of Fire and Ice by George R.R. Martin, yet?

                  Some of the best fantasy political/court intrigue stuff written. (Light on the fantasy components heavy onthe character and intrigue components)

                      Ice and Fire, actually. The new one's supposed to come out in a couple months.

                          I've been thinking about getting on of the Ice and Fire books (the first one, of course) to see if I like it. I normally don't get too much into fantasy novels which take themselves way too seriously... but if it is more based on political drama, sounds like it may be fun.

                              Btw, meaning to ask... what really is the difference between "Paperback" and "Mass Market Paperback"? For Game of Throne of the Ice and Fire series, the Paperback seems to be a larger book (less pages) and a nicer cover. The Mass Market Paperback is, of course, more pages and seems to be the cookie cutter paperback size with a worse cover.

                              Any real differences except the sizes of the books and the covers? Ie, anything to justify the $5 more that the Paperback version is simply because it is a bigger book?
