"(In light of the fact I can't simply leave a note on a Kindle version of this book) It seems so obvious now, but I'm drawn in by the point that avatar customisation and other such design features - regardless of their supposed gender appeal - are a means of expanding the game's audience and reach. Always good to be reminded of the justification behind choices like this." — Jan 18, 2013 10:52am

is 20% done with Frankenstein: 'Surprisingly gripping so far, and rich in philosophies and ideals which somehow speak to me. I didn't expect this after the relative disappointment of "Dracula", and I find I'm making heavy use of Kindle bookmarking.'

by Charlaine Harris
recommended for:
Fans of vampire fiction.

| It's a very topsy-turvy experience, but overall I liked this introduction to the "TrueBlood" series. I'm glad that it came in omnibus form, because the way some of the first book ended was simply mean; thankfully the third ends on a nicer cliff-hange...more | |

“Quand tu veux construire un bateau, ne commence pas par rassembler du bois, couper des planches et distribuer du travail, mais reveille au sein des hommes le desir de la mer grande et large.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

“You know, when I was in Paris, seeing Linter for the first time, I was standing at the top of some steps in the courtyard where Linter's place was, and I looked across it and there was a little notice on the wall saying it was forbidden to take photographs of the courtyard without the man's permission.
