So about that hatius....

[rukusho]

It might not be as long as I thought it would be. My finger doesnt hurt as much if I bandage it right....so we'll see how that goes. Just wanted to let people know since I've kinda been dead the past two nights.

I do have two questions for the f-list.

1) Is a Wii worth buying?

2) Do you have any summer reading suggestions? Books people, I need 'em!!

1) I have really really enjoyed Twilight Princess and Rayman, Raving Rabbids for the Wii. The virtual console is also nice (I've downloaded 3 games for it so far), as is some of the extras like the Weather and Mii channels. Plus, the Wii is small, so it travels easily, can play old Gamecube games, and you can store files internally as well as on SD cards and old gamecube memory cards. I'd say that, for the price, it's a pretty nice system....it's just that there's not much out for it yet.

2) I found the His Dark Materials trilogy really depressing...well-written, but depressing. So, just a warning. As for sci-fi suggestions:

The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein
The Martian Chronicles, The Sound of Thunder (and other stories) and Dandelion Wine [and really anything else] by Ray Bradbury
The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn
On Basilisk Station [or other books by] David Weber
My friend Sally also liked The Faded Sun Trilogy by CJ Cherryh, but I haven't read it.

Ray Bradbury has a very, erm, esoteric writing style that you might like best if you're used to classics. Ursula LeGuin's a bitl ike that too. The other authors have a more modern style. Also look for this particular edition because it has a special, very lovely foreward by the author.

I think that's it. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
