Based on hearty recommendations from, um, everyone, I've ordered the first two books in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series (thank you Amazon 4-for-3 deal, which totally allowed me to sneak in two DVDs). I'll let you know what I think as soon as I know.

Also, because of incessant teasing from my co-workers, up to and including my boss, I've just ordered Tron on DVD. Apparently, the fact that I haven't seen it only makes me half a geek. I'll show 'em. I'm not caving on The Last Starfighter or War Games, however.
