  1. Last book you read

Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment by Jason Schreier. I think it was a solid book for what it was, with serious effort to interview as many people as possible to assemble a comprehensive picture, but ultimately I'm probably not the target audience. I played World of Warcraft from the tail end of Vanilla to the end of Wrath of the Lich King, but otherwise I never really got into any Blizzard games and even though I liked playing WoW with friends, I was never a superfan or a hardcore raider or anything like that. I enjoyed Keza MacDonald's Super Nintendo: The Game-Changing Company That Unlocked the Power of Play a lot more, which was focused on the games and the creative philosophies behind them rather than corporate intrigue and work culture.

Tomorrow, I'm gonna take a hard right turn and start reading How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza by Adam Johnson of citations-needed fame (shoutout to @Hexamerous@hexbear.net for bringing it to my attention). Look forward to feeling uncontrollable rage and then hopefully channeling that rage into getting libs to rethink their unconditional love for The Gray Lady.

(also, I actually have a few of my responses to this kind of survey salvaged from my MySpace page ca. 2006...pure unadulterated cringe)

edit: actually, on the topic of talking to libs, can anyone recommend a good resource for learning to teach more gently and/or Socratically? I have an annoying tendency to ramble on and on, and while it might make me feel better I'm also acutely aware that it's an incredibly ineffective tactic (and at times even counterproductive).

I'm trying to read E. H. Carr's work "The Twenty Years' Crisis: 1919–1939: An Introduction to the Study of International Relations" because I want to work on developing an actual Marxist theory on multipolarity and not one that's been put into vogue by the fascists.

Last fiction book I remember reading was one of David Weber's books over a decade ago, but I do read lots of comics and I think they count sorta.
