Harvesting at my local bookstore
« on: January 05, 2004, 05:07:00 pm »
This past week or so I went to my local bookstore and harvested the following titles:

1.) Strategy Game Programming with DirectX 9.0

2.) Game Coding Complete

3.) Direct3D Programming (Kick Start)

4.) Cryptonomicon

I'm curious--what, if any, books have you harvested from your local bookstore in the past couple weeks or so?

Best,
Jerry

Got one of the old X-Wing series comics (graphic novels I guess) at Borders.  I want them ALL!

Actually I went to the Book store looking for "The Killer Angels" which was recommended by Indy shark here. But no luck so far. niether the Book store or the Library, Nor My Next Door nieghbor.

hehe, that was actually an interesting Conversation...

Hi Silvia, ( she's like 90), I did a follow up on our conversation about the Internment camps, and there where Germans held. By the way, you being a good Christian lady, do you have a copy of a book called Killer angels.

I don't think I'll be invited back to her house anytime soon. LOL.

While it wasn't at a book store I did grab a copy of Gone in Sixty Seconds (the real one not that crummy remake )  on DVD at Suncoast.

Last time I went to the bookstore was about a month ago...*cries* I bought a copy of stargazer 3..that was pretty good. Currently reading one of the enterprise series novels....its ok, but nowhere near as good as the Stargazer. Finished bored of the rings last week - damn that was funny.

Recently bought(and finished) Robin Cooks "Abduction".

I'm a bit of a fan of his books, and this one didn't dissappoint.

I also was bought Terry Goodkinds latest addition to the "Sword of Truth" series- which I plan on reading shortly.
