Is the Children of Hurin out in paper back? I cant ever bring myself to buy a harcover copy of anybook, though I will gladly shell out twice that amount for a game. Its a perspective thing I guess.

 

I think the paperback is out, but I'm not very sure.

Hurin is totally worth it in hardcover. Beautifully bound, with high quality paper, nice font - sizing and spacing - and lovely coverart.

Guys, I'm considering buying this. Think its worth it ?

 

Watchmen

Rare Leather bound Graphitti Designs edition of the incredibly influential story that changed the comic book industry forever. Beautiful book with tons of extras.

Anybody read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown? It's a damn good read.

I have read it 5 times!!!!

Itz much better than Da vinci Code IMHO!!

The only reason it isnt as popular is coz the mystery was killed at da end while in DVC it lives on.

 

PS:::Eagrly waiting for the movie though i know itz gonna suck big time!

I read the same books over and over again. I have lost count of LOTR reads - once every quarter. It's like medication.

Same with Harry Potter series and the Discworld series. And Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (it's the philosophy manual).

True, this is the one of the few hardcover editions I have and its worth it.

 

@nukeu666 - Try the night watch sub-series from Pratchett's Discworld. Neuromancer is very good although quite a contrast to Pratchett's light hearted stories.
