That is what I tell my wife, somehow she does not want to listen on that ear, or any ear for that matter! I have a whole bunch of old video systems lying around. Vectrex, Intellivison, Pont and that old Atari 2600? With lots and lots of real video games (Cartridges) laying around. I think I might have anywhere between 3-400 of them

And that is what I cal real video games. But then we have computer games, and that is a whole different story!

I too love my Kindle.  It's great for reading on the train on the way to work.  It's also a great method of self-publishing for aspiring writers such as myself.

I live in Japan and I just finished writing a short Kindle book about my experiences in the big earthquake last year.  Fitting that I got it done in time for the upcoming anniversary of the quake.  Check it out if you're looking for something new to read while waiting for the next FE beta patch:

Japan Quake - Surviving the 9.0

Not a bad list.  The Scalzi trilogy is good but the man has not written a good original story in a long time, I think he is focusing on his website and his personal views these days.

Other good stuff is out there.  Complex but exciting is Alastair Reynolds and Peter Hamilton stuff.

Judging by the stuff already on that list I would recommend Jack Cambell's Lost Fleet series. I read a lot and this is one of my favorites. 

Brad: Just finished reading Post Human AND Trans Human! You were right, they are very good!!! (Be careful when working on YOUR ai Brad....... it could be plotting........ Muwahaha) B[]

You can get a lot of books from sellers on Amazon for a single cent... plus shipping.

Hunger Game trilogy is ok, I haven't felt "touched" by a book in a very long time, and just hate the terrible movies released about the books.
