    I "borrow" mine from the library and make an "offsite backup copy" should the library ever burn down or something catastrophic like that happen ... I just finished Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.... VERY GOOD BOOK!

    Haha! Good plan and when an event like that happens you can come to the rescue and be hailed as audiobook God by the library xD

    Is it really? I'm not sure whether it'd be my kind of thing. I guess the title is sort of self-explanatory but would you be able to tell me the general plot - without spoilers ofc :smile:

    LOL yeah and im such a "civil servant" that I consider it my duties to the community to back these books up without charging them for the considerable drive space I sacrifice for it .

    Amazon says this about the book
    Indiana‚ 1818. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his dying mother's bedside. Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire. Gifted with his legendary height‚ strength‚ and skill with an ax‚ Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.

    Basically Abe discovers that the whole civil war was started secretly by the vampires so they can keep thier slave "feeding stock" and works his way into the presidency to stop it

    did i miss the elements that make one a nerd? if its computers, spreadsheets, and comics...then I might have a chance. :laugh:

    Oh yeah! I hope so because computers and spreadsheets are a big part of my nerd cred.

    That does actually sound pretty cool, I thought it was a comedy at first :laugh:
