Kwit referencing books, damn books don't have 16:9 widescreen aspects and digital surround sound. Can your book shake my windows if there was an explosion? NO! The best a book can do is ""KAAABOOOOMMMMMM" as you read it, what the heck is that gonna do? Now with my surround sound, I can see, and feel the explosion.

Sweet, the third one has an awesome name too.

Who's with me that "The Bourne Supremacy" is a bloody cool name for a movie?

the bourne legacy?

That was written by Eric Van Lustbader, not Rober Ludlum!

doh wtf? why did he write the book then?
 
i liked that movie. my only problem was that the whole movie he's like "i don't understand, i can memorize things, and i'm trained to kill and know when people are watching me. i don't understand why i know this and can't remember anything. i don't know who i could have been"

i mean *clearly* he could have drawn the conclusion that he was a trained killer. i mean, geez, it was pretty clear to me!

but maybe i'm just nit picking

From the Publisher
In Robert Ludlum's ground-breaking career, no other character so captured and held the world's imagination as Jason Bourne. He appeared in three of Robert Ludlum's own #1 bestselling novels - The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum - and they remain amongst Ludlum's most-read and most-loved books to this day. Now, for the first time ever, the Estate of Robert Ludlum has acceded to the demands of readers around the world, turning to bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader to bring Jason Bourne back to life in a thrilling new novel.

That part reminded me of "The Long Kiss Goodnight" which probably ripped off it's plot from the book, because it's exactly the same.
