Interesting post and responses. Books: Started the year by finishing up the Dresden Files (Jim Butcher) series. Also picked up Skin Game the day it was released. A local used bookstore opened up, so I ended up picking up a lot of classic sci-fi and fantasy. A small selection... Ursula K. Le Guin - Left Hand of Darkness, Lathe of Heaven Isaac Asimov - Prelude to Foundation Marion Zimmer Bradley - Mists of Avalon Anne McCaffrey - Doona series, No One Noticed the Cat William Gibson - continued reading the "Sprawl" trilogy. Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash Mercades Lackey - Arrows trilogy Neil Gaiman - Anansi Boys, American Gods, Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett). Also reread Daniel Suarez's Daemon and Freedom(tm). For non-fiction, I haven't read Redefining Realness yet. Janet Mock spoke at the university where I work. Video Games: Continuing Guild Wars 2. Picked up Guild Wars 1 to play through all the original lore and get the linked rewards. Quantum Conundrum (by Kim Swift, original designer of Portal). Picked up Never Alone and Alice: Madness Returns but haven't had a chance to play them yet. Board/Tabletop Games: Played the aforementioned Lords of Waterdeep, which was quite enjoyable. Finished a two year Pathfinder campaign. Pathfinder Card Game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. I no longer go to the local game store's board game night, so I doubt I will do much with board games any more.
