Eight books last week! That's 21st April to 27th April.
Five of these were audiobooks, which I do tend to get through quite quickly; mostly because I listen to them on double speed or faster. Two of the others I've been working on for a while, and just happened to finish them this week. The last one, User Unfriendly, is pretty short, and part of a series I've read a few times before.
Redshirts is a book I've read a few times before. Listening to it was interesting; it really brought home how often the author describes the characters as having 'said' something. It became very repetitive after a while.
Nightmares and Dreamscapes is a collection of short stories, which I wrote a longer post about here.
A Tale for the Time Being is an odd one. It's about a teenage girl living in Japan, and the author finding her diary, and then time goes a bit odd. An interesting one.
The Forgetting Time reminded me a lot of Shelter; it shares the same themes of motherood and dealing with a difficult, unhappy child.
I've spoken about The Forbidden Game before; I finished off the series this week.
Finally, Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping and Development. I only read the first 300 pages, as they were on general game theory while the otehr 600 were on designing with a specific system which I'm not using (I'm using RPGMaker 2003 right now). It's a really great guide.
