in case you're interested in free digital books Tor has a new free digital book service that looks interesting.  here's the blurb with a link:

Science fiction. Fantasy. The universe. And related subjects.

Something new is coming. Register to be one of the first to join us, and receive free digital books from bestselling and award-winning SF and fantasy authors. This is just the beginning.

Once you register, you'll receive our newsletter and a link to download a digital book. And you'll receive a link to another new book every week.

The first week's free book is Mistborn, by rising fantasy star Brandon Sanderson. Next week's will be Old Man's War by John Scalzi, 2006's winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. Over the next several weeks, other books still.

So sign up. Stay in touch. And watch the skies.

i've signed up to see what it's all about.  Old Man's War is an excellent book and it's one of the books in our database so if you're trying to knock off the books we have here that's one off you list.  not sure why they would be giving away free books but i'm not going to complain.

let me know what you guys think.
