Total Off Topic and of use only if you are in the UK
If you are British aged 35-55 ish and came into the hobby via figure gaming, have belonged to a wargame club, or been to a convention may I recomend Achtung Schweinehund by Harry Pearson very funny book I recognised several points in my life when I could have turned into one of the people described. In fact a la Red Dwarf there are probably several parallel universes with me like someone in the book!

However the funniest bit was buying the book the woman in Waterstones insisted that Schweinhound was German for swordfish which just takes the level of PC to new levels. In case my boyhood memory was wrong I bable fished it (Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy) and it is watch out Pig Dog as I thought.

Americans reading this are now totally confused.
