If that's a snip where do i get the unabridged version? Also, if you have a working future sense do you mind giving a few investment pointers before trading begins tomorrow morning?

Thanks. Good book? I'm always looking for a good (audio)book these days with the ridiculously long commute to my current job site.

I read it a while ago, and I really liked it. I guess the best way of describing it is campy, derivative and niche, but if it strikes the right cord with you, then it's awesome. At least it doesn't take itself seriously, excerpted from the book:

"'It's a dreadfully long monster of a book,' Wildeblood says pettishly, 'and I certainly won't have time to read it, but I'm giving it a thorough skimming. The authors are utterly incompetent--no sense of style or structure at all. It starts out as a detective story, switches to science-fiction, then goes off into the supernatural, and is full of the most detailed information of dozens of ghastly boring subjects. And the time sequence is all out of order in a very pretentious imitation of Faulkner and Joyce. Worst yet, it has the most raunchy sex scenes, thrown in just to make it sell, I'm sure, and the authors--whom I've never heard of--have the supreme bad taste to introduce real political figures into this mishmash and pretend to be exposing a real conspiracy.'

'If The Lord of the Rings is a fairy tale for adults, sophisticated readers will quickly recognize this monumental miscarriage as a fairy tale for paranoids.'"

I'm not surprised suttree likes it.

WOAH, where does the time go?

Here's the map so far:

Here's a video of my exploration adventures! Work warning: contains music.

You're going to need a one of these to scrape off all that growth.

I enjoyed that video, but I wasn't there for the Civ 4.
