I'm more about the PVE, but if a team needs a builder/resourcer I'm in.
I was out most of this week due to PAX South, and getting back and needing to get caught up. I'm mostly caught up at this point.

This topic was brought up again during Saturday Night Customs. Then Sunday I had a thought what about all the books I have on my iPad that I haven't read. I keep buying books from the Kindle store, and I have a backlog. Part of what brought this up was also a post by a friend of mine about a book, so I added that book/series to my Wishlist on Amazon.

I know a ton of books on my to be read list. Some I started but put down, most of the time it just wasn't the right time for that book for me.
So what is on your backlog?

So the past few Saturday Night Customs nights that I have been on, you nerds turn it to talk about books. Being a big book nerd myself I love it. So we were talking about various series last night again, and it got me thinking maybe I should start a thread about books. I do have a GoodReads account, but I haven't done anything with it.
So below are some of my favorite series broken down into genres.
Urban Fantasy:
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher: Set in Modern Chicago, a young Wizard tries to make his way in the world as a Wizard/Detective. Occasionally helping out the Chicago Police Department with weird cases.
The Iron Druid Series by Kevin Hearne: This follows the modern day adventures of a 2,000+ year old Druid and his hound. The hound isn't nearly as old, and is quite a bit funnier.
The Council Wars series by John Ringo: This actually takes place 10,000 years in the future where the "ruling" body of the world goes to war and causes the downfall of man. This is also where a Sci-Fi writer tries to write fantasy.
Monster Hunter International Series by Larry Corria
Fantasy:
Dragonlance Series by Margeret Wies and Tracy Hickman: A classic fantasy tale with an extended universe. Though to be honest some of the books are good, some are bad.
Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
Codex Alera by Jim Butcher: A Roman society transported to another planet where magic exists.
Science Fiction:
The Serrano series by Elizabeth Moon
Vatta's War by Elizabeth Moon
Vorkorsigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Planet Pirates series by Anne McCaffery & Elizabeth Moon &
Old Man's War series by John Scalzi
The Lost Fleet Series by Jack Campbell
Forever War by Joe Hadleman
Doona Series by Anne McCaffery
Historical Fiction:
Belsarius series by Eric Flint and David Drake
1632 series by Eric Flint and others
I'm sure there are more, but I have run out of time for now. Once I figure out the url for my GoodReads account I will post that. If others want to post their GoodReads accounts I wouldn't mind.

I'd be interested, but as a warning, my play is erratic. Sometimes I am bad, sometimes I am ok.

I haven't been on much the last month. We were out of town for most of it. Three weekends at my Father-In-Laws, one weekend at my Grandpa's, and the last weekend in April was at a game convention running games. However now we are going to away every few weekends so we can get the house ready to sell. So I plan to try to be on during the week more.

I could do October. I miss going to LAN parties. Though I might be looking for someone to split the room with, as I would need a hotel room.

I hate Dust2. I don't understand why people have such a lovefest for that map.
