      Have e-books always been more expensive than paperbacks?

        Pretty much I think. That's one of the two reasons why I don't own any…

          Yeah…just came back from the local bookstore hoping to pick up the Game of Thrones bundle,that was unfortunately not available, when I realized I could likely buy them for cheaper via Amazon. Not the case. Merde.

            Best to buy paperbacks second hand I find, either in charity shops or online. I realise that this is straying wildly off-topic (sorry). Check out abebooks.com or alibris.com.

                        I've had good luck with half.com for cheap books.

                        Damn, Doug, that sounds awful.  I don't have any info on generators, though.  Sorry.:(

                          Is there some sort of technical reason why the gray marl tee shirts are 95% cotton instead of 100% like the other colors?

                            What are the best running shoes?

                            Not too concerned about looks.
                            At least 80% of my running is on a treadmill.

                            I know this might just come down to preference, but I'm sure there have to be some shoe specs out there that are better than others.

                            As of right now, I'm into New Balance.
                            Anyone have a preferred New Balance shoe?

                              I haven't ran for a few months, but I use Nike Air Max 360, and find them to be fine.

                                  Re running shoes, if you're in need of some support and motion control (a good shop can assess this for you), I would recommend Brooks. Their running shoes are solid, well-constructed and comfortable. If you can get away with a neutral shoe, Nike shoes from the Lunar series and the classic Pegasus are excellent.

                                  I've used both of these brands and they served me well over hundreds and hundreds of training miles and racing.

                                    The 95% label in the grey marl Tee is a mistake.  It is 100% cotton….

                                      I like Vibram Fivefingers. They look ridiculous, but they're super comfortable

                                        I vote also for 5Fingers. They require a different approach to running though…

                                            Which ones do you use? I'm using KSOs for everything right now, although I will most likely get a pair of Komodosport LS when I can get back to weight lifting.

                                            But like IJ said, you need a different approach to running if you're going to wear Fivefingers. You don't realize how weak the muscles in your feet are until you wear a pair for a day
