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.
