Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $8.02
A crazy, wild game where you roll everyday items up in a ball. Sounds simple, no? Oh, but it is very complex, and so addictive. I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone, to gamers and noobs. :)
Perdido Street StationPerdido Street Station by China Mieville
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.78
This abnormal fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk novel breathes life into a stifled genre. Mieville has written that fantasy genre has been limited by the typical Tolkienesque characters. You'll find no elves crushed between these pages. Instead, imagine a darkened world where the street names fill your mouth with bile.

The Plague DogsThe Plague Dogs
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $3.72
Probably the saddest movie I've ever watched. It leaves you feeling drained, and the ghost of this movie will sneak up on you at the strangest moments. I think it encourages people to be aware of the consequences of their actions. BE KIND TO ANIMALS!!!
