I do both they are my two hobbies past times.  One thing i cant do is read e books or get a kindle.  Maybe i'm just old but i like holding a book in my hands when im reading it.

@Osaladin:
Pretty sure if you look the books up you can see the original publish date.  I go by that alot when im not sure what order to read something or just to get some sort of idea of the proper order.   I'm sure someone has a proper list somewhere on the web as well.

Philip KDick is awesome.  Most people have no idea how many movies are based on his books.  I really should read the books as I am going to go ut a limb and say they are much better then any of the movies based on them.

And I have read all the Halo stuff and the Mass Effect stuff.  Ya sure they aren't as good as alot of the mentioned series but they were easy reads and they let me enjoy the games more by fleshing out the Universes.   Good book ties in with fun games you like are awesome if you ask me.

I was looking at the Ender's Quartet Boxed Set.  I think i want to get that to start.  The other option is getting the Dune chronicles.  Since i am legally blind and read kinda slow now, which set do you all think is easier reading?  I know that can be a matter of opinion but you all have helped alot so far so I'm asking for a bit more help here.  Definately narrowed it down to those two boxed sets.

"I dont know if you like the games but Mass Effect Revelations and Mass Effect Ascension are two excellent Sci-fi booksRevelations take place before the first one and Acension takes place between Mass Effect 1 and 2I recommend these books and the games, although you could read them without playing the games, hope I could help"

Read both and played the game.  The books really helped make the game even better if you read it first.

The original NES and probably the original PS were the two systems i have the fondest memories of playing.  Lots of great FUN games on both.

Broke both my tibia and fibula just above the actual ankle.  What you cant really see in the pictures is the wound under the gauze.  You can easily fit a thumb and index finger into the wound right down to the bone.  Have had that erector set on for 2 months now.  5 surgerys so far and ill probably have this thing on for at least another month till they put the plates and screws on the inside.  It definately sucks ass.
