belated reading/listening/watching/playing updates

Read:
  • The Algebraist, by Iain Banks. Re-read this. Even better the second time.
  • World War Z, by Max Brooks. Also a re-read, also awesome.
Listened:
  • Ancestor and Infected, by Scott Sigler. I think I'd have liked these better in print form than as audiobooks... The author does the audiobooks, which I assume allows them to be free. As stingey as I can be, I might pony up some cash if the voices of the characters weren't so lame. Story-wise, I much prefered Infected to Ancestor.
Watched:
  • Finally saw WALL*E, The Dark Knight, and Wanted. All great.
Played:
  • Many, many games with friends and family. Some new/continuing favorites: Ticket to Ride, Game of Thrones, Hey That's My Fish, Snorta, Samurai.
