I like how there's a base so you can sit on that too!
Back on topic, just got Crysis in the mail a few minutes ago. $28 priority shipped for a good used copy, not bad.
Wtf? That's stupid. I paid £18/$36USD and I'm perfectly happy with them. There's no need to pay any more. :/
Grabbed that when the omnibus came out a while back. That is the Ravenor Trilogy (and the first 3 books of the recent Gaunt saga) there.
Awesome. The Eisenhorn omnibus is the only Dan Abnett book I've read, how do the others compare?
:edit: Stilgar, I am loving your avatar.

I just bought a crappy cheeseburger from the cafeteria.

Eisenhorn is probably the single greatest thing Abnett has ever done. Everything worked perfectly with the sole exception of maybe the last fifty pages of the last book (just felt REALLY rushed).
I enjoy his Gaunt's Ghosts series, but I am one of the first to admit that Gaunt suffers from Mary-Sue syndrome. Although, the recent arcs have showed Gaunt's weaknesses and failings (and also promoted him to a near messianic figure).
But the best thing to come out of the Gaunt books: Double Eagle. It is basically to Aeronautica Imperialis what pretty much every other 40k book is to Warhammer 40k. A very good read, and very fun characters.
Note: If you do decide to try the Gaunt books, I suggest reading Book 2 before Book 1. All you will have "spoiled" is that some bad **** happened at Menazoid Epsilon, Rawne wants to kill Gaunt, and that Varl and Domor were both injured. Abnett's main weakness is that he can't write introductions. As a result, the first book is really random and chaotic the first time through, whereas book 2 (which is really just a collection of the short stories that spawned the Tanith First and Only) is essentially a very long intro.
Last week bought a Yamaha MU100R tone generator, arrived on Friday, not stopped playing with it since
