The first Halo trilogy of books from decades ago was up and down on Amazon, but I had always kept it on my wish list. Then a few weeks ago, it skyrocketed up to $50+ dollars. Worried I had lost my chance on a classic, I was happy when it dropped down to about 15 bucks. As a certain Mooninite would say, I jumped on it like a beast, before it went straight up to $99.99.

So bam! I have it!

Even though it's the new editions and not the classic old ones like the advertised, and the books themselves are tinier than my pen....collection, I now have the opportunity to join the masses of people jumping up and down with their right hand lifted high, yelling about canon and cannons, retcons and Recon, and all the rage of arguing whether everything is exact throughout this FICTIONAL timeline. ;-)

Back when I was working at the library, I found each of these books and read the prologue to each one. Now that I actually have these iPhone-sized text books(why even bother, right?) I can read the whole thing. Including the disturbing mention of "Bonus pages of new content from 343 Industries."

I can already tell this is going to be a whole damn "who shot first" thing. Oh, God.
