Resistance 3 Prequel Novel Set To Release In July
Resistance 3Believe it or not, as hard as it would be, I'd give up my games before I gave up my books.
And if you're a reader and you want to dive into the Chimera-infested world of Resistance, you'll want to pick up the new prequel novel by sci-fi author William C. Dietz. It will "fill in the gaps" concerning the history of the Chimeran invasion, and will offer some explanation as to what happened between R2 and R3. "Resistance: A Hole in the Sky" will follow Resistance 3 protagonist Joseph Capelli after the second adventure ended, where he was only a supporting character. Of course, you'll be able to play as Capelli in the upcoming sequel on September 6, but the book will be on store shelves in July, which gives you plenty of time to read it before the hotly anticipated shooter arrives. By the way, Dietz has also produced "Resistance: The Gathering Storm" and other books based on the Halo, Hitman and Star Wars franchises. Another new Dietz book, based on BioWare's Mass Effect, will release on September 27.
Honestly, you should try to read almost as much as you play. Balance is key in life.

I'm also not interested in Capelli. Nathan Hale, whose namesake must be the Nathan Hale to whom this quote is (probably incorrectly) credited: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country," was the focus of this story. I wanted to keep his story going, nevermind the end of R2, there were ways around that.
I guess that doesn't matter as I can't resist a resistance title anyway.

You know, I've actually read the first Resistance novel: The Gathering Storm. It's not the best book I've ever delved into, but it's still pretty decent and it did have at least few chapters that were real page turners for me.
If you're curious you can pick up a used copy for as low as literally $0.01 on amazon (not counting the cost of shipping).
Having said that I myself will probably be picking up this new book at some point.

Try editing for a living for the past 20 years. I was a voracious reader when I was younger, even after college. Then after I started working for Standard & Poor's (my second editing job… there for 15 years next month) editing finance for 40 hours a week something changed. I found it harder and harder to just read for leisure and not mentally edit what I was reading, so I had to stop.
The iPad my wife gave me for Christmas, however, has reignited my love of reading. I’ve been buying up books for my Kindle and iBook apps at an alarming rate. For some reason, I am now able to read for enjoyment again and distance myself from editing the material; the second that starts happening again, however, I am done.

That's good. That means that you can use said material as a sleep aid.

I also have a decent military book collection(also DVD/VHS) on all the American wars & conflicts.
I also have about another 200 other hardcover books & paperbacks that I won't be keeping after reading, mainly on true crime, horror, Sci-Fi, history, Tom Clancy, adventure, bio's & novels, etc.
And I'll just donate those books right back to my local hospital's charity thrift shop from where I had bought them
But I do have a very tiny, movie-games related book collection that I've recently started too.
So far, I only have...
Halo:Contact Harvest /by Joseph Staten
Resident Evil:Caliban Cove /S.D. Perry
Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen /Alan Dean Foster
The DaVinci Code:Quest for Answers /Josh McDowell
The DaVinci CodeBreaker /James L. Garlow.
Myst Solutions /Brady games
Plus I also have a few hundred old but mint, strategy guide books for a lot of my retro games & consoles too.
