Threats of the Galaxy (Star Wars SE) is a decent little book.  Plenty of good ideas on using the SE character generation and progression system to tune villains for your specific campaign.  Well-illustrated, with information about several of the named SW characters.  The line's physical format works for me, too.

Secrets of the Surface World (Hollow Earth Expedition) feels a lot meatier.  A handful of new archetypes, new rules for psychic characters, a fast-moving adventure, and a humongous equipment section written and laid out as a gentleman adventurer's catalog.

I'm reading Admiral Stansfield Turner's Burn Before Reading now.  He's got a good voice, and his history of the CIA makes for fine reading. 

Saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night.  It's good.  Certainly no Raiders, but worth the time and money.  It moves the Indy mythos from 30s pulps to 50s SF, and keeps the action going quite nicely.  There are some things that seemed to be thrown in just to pad the run time or as peril-for-its-own-sake (the ants), but those are fairly minor.

Today, must do laundry.  Must write.
