Why Corylus_Unbound Rocks

corylus_unbound gave me my very own copy of Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain 1942, which I first learned about from simreeve in A&E some time back. It's a chapbook handed to the Americans coming over to Britain in WWII that explains the Brits and their wacky ways - like not striking up conversations with strangers on buses - that might be odd to mid century middle Americans. And it has lines like "Now you understand why British soldiers respect the women in uniform. When you see a girl in khaki or air force blue with a bit of ribbon on her tunic -- remember she didn't get it for knitting more socks than anyone else in Ipswitch."
I also now have my 'to read before my birthday' pile, which gives me six months to work through
( books behind the cut )
I'm sure all of these will leach into gaming somehow...but at least I'm not lacking something to read.
Speaking of Leaching into gaming, I just finished Herr Docktorchadu Underkoffler's Zorcerer of Zo and it is tres spiffy. Expect something from it on the next prospectus - Buddhist Cat Reincarnation, more like than not. But more on that later.
