Today, upon being paid, I bought issue #19 of Ultimate X-Men (and it was a great issue in a fantastic story arc), Trudi Canavan's The Novice (which I wouldn't have bought if she hadn't run the fantasy writing workshop I went to, so clever marketing decision there, Ms Canavan) and Clausewitz's On War (the Penguin classic edition, with the introductory essay by Anatol Rapoport on which I'm going to be writing my thesis).

This is fairly indicative of me in general, actually. Two parts geek to one part academic.
