I <3 books

Most of you know that I am a big reader. I love books. I've read more books than I can remember. But Jen turned me on to a great site that will actually help me remember what books I've read, and what books I plan to read. It's called Goodreads and works like any other social networking site. You find books that you have read/plan to read and add them to your list. You can search the site for others that have read that book, or Amazon.com to find them. It has a rating and review system, friends list, and even a great layout that lets you see all your books with covers! Even has some nice widgets to add to your blog (which you will see on your right). The widget only seems to load a few books from my "Read" shelf, so if you want to see all 130+, you have to click the link

I highly recommend it to all bookworms and, well, anyone that can read.

Update: Broken Big Daddy Figurine Replacement

Just got the following e-mail from 2k Games:

BioShock Figurine Replacement Program Update

The BioShock figurine replacement program is nearing completion after some delays due to production of the replacement figurines. We appreciate your patience and in order to speed things up, 2K Games is eliminating the step in which you are required to return the broken figurine (we've figured you've waited long enough!).

In the next two weeks, we will begin shipping out a single package containing both the replacement figurine and the art book to customers who enrolled in the program by November 12th. There will be no return box or need to return the broken figurine to our attention.

Thanks for your support and interest in BioShock, and for your patience during the replacement figurine program.

Now THAT's customer service at it's finest. Are you taking notes AT&T? Comcast?
