Hello Reader, who is also a reader, and welcome to return to the week – our regular Sunday conversation with the selection of great people in the book! As a reward for sticking with this column for too long, I am happy to announce that we will soon give you the opportunity to write with a detailed list of all your overthrow ideas and which books have inspired you to keep them and in return, I will send you an email warning if those books appear in this column. Cormac McCarthy’s path is considered a classic work, so I will call it ‘McCarthyism’ because of its simplicity.
This week, it was the co -founder of Finji – a publisher of luxurious games like Tunic, Wilmot’s Warehouse and Night In The Woods – Bekah Saltsman! Congratulations Bekah! If we have a nose in your bookshelf?
What are you reading?
I am currently reading the Sarah J. Maas and Am Glass series on Tower of Dawn – it’s the Six book by some of the series (seven if you include Blade Assassin). For the first time I read these things in the pandemic and with all trips to DICE and GDC in February and March, I want to read something happy. I also often read a fictional book. I am in the middle of selling sexy: Victoria’s Secret and clarifying an American symbol of Lauren Sherman and Chantal Fernandez.
What did you read for the last time?
Much. Technically, it was the other five books in front of the Dawn tower, but I reread the four fourth wing books so that I could remember what was happening in Onyx Storm. And before that, I read Hunter heartless of Kristen Ciccarelli, and all Andrea Stewart’s Bone Shard war books. I have to call the last fictional book I read because it’s great – the banned garden: Leningrad’s botanists are surrounded and their unmistakable choice by Simon Parkin. I love Simon’s book and all you should read them.
What are you keeping your eyes on the next?
The question is difficult. This will really depend on my gap after GDC- If I feel really worried, I will probably read Emily Wilde’s map about other lands because everything in this series is ridiculous in a good way. Or maybe the Briarheart of Mercedes Lackey. If I was a little more interested, I would sit on Novik’s Scholomance books for a hot minute and they were introduced to me many times. For my next fiction- I turned off the dawn of everything by Graber and Wengrow, but it was 526 pages with pages and notes so that it would be read dense. I have the beauty of the game in Frank Lantz’s reading list and I know I will like it.
What is the quote or scene from a book that is most attached to you?
As you can say I read a lot and always read a lot. Choose a scene that feels impossible – I remember the first time I read through Lord of the Rings and I came to the end when Frodo was departing on the ships, I cried more than reasonable. There is also a line in Jane Austin’s persuasion, living for free in my mind when Anne Elliott said, “All the privileges I ask for my sex (it’s not a great thing, you don’t need to crave it.
Convincing is a novel that Austen wrote that in its platform was sad. It was Austen’s last novel and you could say. I can definitely continue (does anyone want to get bored when I talk about the scenes on the twelfth night I love?) But I will not.
Which book do you find yourself bothering your friends to read?
This is stupid but it is a book about raising children’s name as the booming child of Ross Greene. It gave me and Adam a lot of tools on how to respect our parents and the children pretending.
Want to see someone adapted to a game?
I really like to see something like convincing or Emma or pride and prejudice adapted to a game. I don’t care if you bend the context, and even physical shares for the main character (there is a reason Pride and Prejudice and Zombie are a book). But keep the basis of social rules, intrigue and conversation strategy – what appears on the other side of that? I really like playing that game.
The Parasol Protection set of Gail Carriger is exactly a modern and witty book that feels like it draws from Austen’s platform text but is very happy and funny while also a book with action and no action. The characters are *kisses of chef *- I will play that game.
As an additional bonus feature of ‘McCarthyism’, anyone who successfully meets the goal of this column is to name all existing books that will be fired immediately. Fortunately, that goal is a secret, so it hopes not to go there. Books for now!
