What are the last three books you read, and what did you think of each?
This is hard to define I've plowed through two omnibusses that collected three books within them each in the past month and a half. If it's just the one omnibus, the books contained were called
"Shadow of all Night Falling"
"October's Baby"
"All Darkness Met"

Overall the omnibus is called "A Cruel Wind"
All three by Glenn Cook, the first one seemed to have a different tact than the other two, it was about a wizard who started a war over a woman who he'd been waiting for for 400 years. The others were about a secondary character in Shadow who ends up leading an army to reunite a small kingdom and defend against an incursion by an incredibly powerful empire. It gets to be very complicated as there's plots within plots, schemers everywhere, and politics abound. Each section of this world is modeled after a midevil era counterpart, the main characters and their armies are generally designed around European military, fortifications, and governing styles. The Dread Empire (aka Shinsan) is modeled after Asia, and a western empire that is generally at an arms length from the story (only mentioned in passing or referencing the past) is modeled after the armies around the time of Saladin. Also for those who might read it in the future, it's not High fantasy, no princes on white horses with hair luffing in the wind coming to save the princess, instead that guy would probably end up a drunkard because all his idealism wins no fans with the denizens of this universe. Usually they're quite flawed and human. Most of the characters are either Soldiers or in a similar class as the soldiers, so main characters cheat on their husbands, and do other less noble things along with saving the world. Albeit this series isn't as dark as the Black Company.

If we're talking omnibusses as one book, the Space Wolves omnibus is the second most recent book. Not very deep, but a fun romp through Warhammer 40k. Also goes more in depth into the Space Wolves history and culture which I find interesting (because generally games like Warhammer don't go that in depth with their creations).

Before that? "Cain's Last Stand" by Sandy Mitchell, Same universe as the Space Wolves omnibus, this and it's predecessors tell the tale of a Commissar of the Imperium of Man, trying to stay out of the line of fire and usually ends up plopped right in the middle of some action that makes him a heroic figure, and because he's such a "hero" (much to his distaste) he keeps getting into more and more deadly/heroic situations which keep building on his reputation. This particular tale focus's on him being forced to spear head the defense of the planet he's acting as a teacher on, against the forces of Chaos, because he's the only competant leader on the planet (excepting a few other teachers at the Scholea). It's really fun because he's trying to live a life of leisure (Wine, women, and comfort) but is forced to keep a heroic posture lest he loose what he has. This along with its predecessors are annotated as if by another character, so as to inform the reader of things like what acronyms mean, what the heck the characters are referring to, and to keep the entire conflict accessible to the reader.

I read alot, does it tell?
What is your all-time favorite movie, and why?
Probably Empire Strikes Back (the '77 version). It's easily the best of all the Star Wars films, and it lead me to a star wars addiction that lasted well into my high school years.
Paper or Plastic?
Paper
Diamond Dave or Sammy?
Ummmmmmmm Dave!
Kirk or Picard? Why?
Picard, I never actually watched the old Trek, although I personally prefer Sisko to both.
