Last book, CD, game you bought
I couldn't decide of whether it's better to ask for last CD or last book, so I put both in one poll, and threw games in for good measure.
Last CD: Psychopharmacology, by Firewater. I'm listening to it right now. It's great. Everyone must buy it. GO BUY IT!
Last book: Carnage and Culture, by Victor Davis Hanson. It's interesting, though I think Hanson's conclusions are ever so slightly off. I'm currently about halfway - slowened by also being in the middle of China Mieville's Perdido Street Station, which was the second-last book I bought.
Last game: I don't think I've bought games for a while. My god, it might even be... Civilization 3.

Quite possibly the worst book title I've ever seen.

Last book: hell, I don't know. I'm not counting books for med school here. Probably the last book I bought for pleasure was Silence of the Lambs, but the last book I read (just finished yesterday, for the first time) was Lord of the Rings, borrowed from a friend.
Last CD: Who's Next, by The Who. Today's music sucks.
Last game: Finally caved and bought PTW with some Xmas money. AI seems improved. SMAC is still at least thrice as good.

That was the point, Tuberski.
I was thinking of Village People greatest hits at first...but that's too blatant.
UberKruX: Cool, I used his Data Structures & Algorithms books in my first year, the Java edition.

Last CD: A used copy of the Star Wars Radio drama.
Last game: Post Mortem. Played it since friday. From what I can tell, I'm close to the end, but given the non-linearity of this adventure game, I might play it some more if I'm still enjoying it.

Hobbes: what did you think of "THe Gift of Asher Lev" in comparison to My name is asher lev?
i liked the first better, tho the writing was equally good in both.
