    Question: Are these books part of your normal course readings or are they in addition to what you have to read for school?

    In addition.

    EDIT: Whether or not my classes/major give me a lot of free time is for you guys to guess/decide when calculating your guesses. You can change your guess at any time btw.

    Okay, that knocks the number down by a few.

    Going to try to reason this one out. Some of the books you have on that shelf seem like breezes, like the Max Brooks collection, etc. But most of them look like downright bears. If you actually pull off the entire Federalist Papers for pleasure, for example, my hat is off to you. And is that Plato's Republic I see on the top right? These will take time. Time and a brobdingnagian amount of discipline, much more than I have. My prediction is that you get through most/all of the quicker reads and a few of the denser stuff before the usual coursework increase hits sometime in November. Then you will see a good amount of your free time evaporate, as it usually does.

    Guess: 9

    @GH Your reasoning may be correct, but lest everyone thinks the same I should point out that one or more of these books may or may not have already been started (and just abandoned when my interest moved to other books).

    Well, just like with Moros I will ask the winner what he/she wants and what their computer can handle. I will buy whatever game I think he/she will enjoy the most regardless of cost.

    EDIT: Also, since the game ends the second week of December, Steam will be having its Christmas sale. So I mean, if you are looking for Deus Ex: Human Revolution and they suddenly slap a 50% off on it, I will probably buy it.

    Do we get to know what your major is and/or how many classes you're taking?

    I have said what my major is on the org at some point. Up to you guys to find out what it is, and whether or not the classes it entails will drain my free time.

    you spend way too much time on here to get through all those books!

    if I were you I'd start with something really meaty (Mill: On Liberty etc?) then follow it with the zombie survival guide as a reward
    frogbeastegg's TWS2 guide....it's here!

    Come to the Throne Room to play multiplayer hotseat campaigns and RPGs in M2TW.
