I hear alot about on-line gaming. I'd imagine those books will fly off the shelves, he's tapped into some great pop culture with that book.

This is how out of the loop and uncool I am:

When our baby-sitter said she was into "gaming" I thought it had something to do with hunting or fishing or wildlife.

In my defense, she was from Alaska.

Have fun at the event. Don't let harm come to any animals, okay?
