games

One of the things I like to share here is what I happen to be reading, or in most cases just finished reading (or listening) to.  Dunno why, other that the fact that I love books and when I find some good ones, I want to let other people know about them so they can be enjoyed by others as well.  I’ve started my share of books that fizzled before the end and turned into a big yawn fest, but I have a little more faith in ones that get recommended by friends.  So, I’ll do the same.  This will be an ongoing thing, and it will be a lot of posts as I catch up even just what I have read in the last year or two, but hey, why not?  You never know, both of you that come visit this site my find something you like!

I am going to start with a trilogy that I just finished last week.  This is another set of books that, much like some others I have read (Eragon for one) in that despite being put in the kids section, it seems like quite an adult book.  Great story and story telling, captivating plot, and all in all an ending that wasn’t bad.  I am talking about the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins.  The three books in order are: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay.  Check these out, they are an easy read and yet tell a very entertaining story.  I couldn’t put them down, I just wish I had a few more in the series!

Support your indie game developers and get some way cool cross platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) games with NO DRM included.  I am talking about the Humble Indie Bundle Experiment where you can buy a cool bundle of games and name your price in doing so.  Plus, a portion of the monies goes to charity.  How much better does it get, cool games, supporting indie game developers and donating to charity all at once.  Did I mention the games are cross platform and not locked down with DRM crap too?  Oh yeah!  Let’s get over there and get some good while we are doing some good!
