Battlestar Galactica

Whee! It's monday and I'm feeling a bit of an adrenaline rush (even though it's now 2.30 am) because I've just finished reading a book of Battlestar Galactica (alright, so it was a compilation of 3 books into 1) and boy, was it good. I heard so much about it that I knew it must be good, but whoa, it certainly didn't disappoint. It was so fast paced, everything...

I was in the library on friday when I saw this book on the shelf, so I thought, why not? And so I borrowed it. Was secretly hoping that I'd run into C one of the days so I could show the book, as C happens to like the series as well. Would be cool (and funny) if I did :P

Currently talking online to Aby about it right now and he's telling me that it's the new version of BSG that I was reading. I had to talk to him about BSG, of course, especially because one of the characters that he has is called 'Hot Dog' after Brendan Constanza in the series. Apparently Aby knows that it's the 'new' version of BSG simply by finding out that this character called 'Starbuck' is female instead of male in the 'old' version.

Was mildly amused by the fact that often I manage to figure out what's going on before the characters in the book itself figure out, but isn't that usually the case anyway? (instead of it being an indicator of your intelligence) That you get the 'inside' view as the reader, while the characters are sort of floundering about not knowing what to do.

Aby is saying 'gosh, you are a reader'. Well, what did you expect, mister... I'm a bibliophile *smirks* On the other hand, I don't really watch movies or watch tv, so I guess that kinda makes up for it. It's just that on some level I rather resent the hold that books have upon me, when I end up spending hours, hours I can more often than not, barely afford to spare... Oh well, who cares :D Nobody here but us, me and my books :P
