    I value different things depending on the game. I believe it is unfair to judge games equally, when every game is made with a slightly different purpose in mind.

    Have you read any of the Edgar Allen Poe detective novels? They are considered to be the first and the edifying novels in the detective fiction genre. Wondering what your opinion is.

    I mostly read ... detective novels ...

    I'm also guilty of reading many books in parallel. Currently I am in various states of reading:

    • Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I have the omnibus, I'm just over halfway through now. Good comedy that deconstructs sci-fi tropes, but gets surprisingly philosophical at times.

    • The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern. It's part of the Jim Qwilleran detective novel series by Lilian Jackson Braun. I quite like the series. Short, snappy detective novels with charm and cats.

    • Dracula. Bram Stoker's seminal novel. Reading it for a writing project I'm working on. Can't say much more about the project, but the novel is great. Very rich characters, excellent setting.

    • Dragonflight. By Anne McCaffery, this is the beginning of the Pern series. Honestly I'm only in the first few pages but the series comes highly recommended by my family and the internet. More to come, I suppose?

    • Ethica, Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata. Philosophical treatise by Baruch Spinoza. Spinoza is credited as one of the foremost panpsychist philosophers, famous for his philosophical deconstructions of God and Nature. I'm reading it in the original Latin because I'm an insufferable arse.
