You know what I like? Books. You know what I REALLY like? GOOD books. I'm a fan of Peter F. Hamilton; literally everything that man has written I've enjoyed. He writes sci-fi and the first books of his that I read were a series known as "NIght's Dawn". I, literally, read those books to pieces and have been remiss about getting new copies.

There were three books, divided into six when they were published in 'merica but, personally, I like a book that I can bludgeon someone with if they get on my nerves. These three books (that my secret santa sent me) are thousand-page monstrosities and they will have a special place on my bookshelf when they are not being read or used as a blunt instrument of destruction.

... I'm kidding about the beating part. In all seriousness this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I opened the box in front of my kids and they were AMAZED that there were SO MANY PAGES! I'd read it to them, but there are certain parts that are a little too adult for a five and seven year old.

I'll add a picture as soon as I can, but if you can't wait, look under "The Reality Dysfunction" on Amazon. They are that awesome.

Thank you, Secret Santa! You've totally made my holiday!

UPDATE! I just got another package! Cracking it open I found the figure below. I tried to take a picture of it, but seeing as it's all pewter and my camera sucks it doesn't come out right so I ganked the image from the website. I'm going to be picking up paints and painting it here soon.

THANK YOU SECRET SANTA! YOU ARE AWESOME!
