Here's what I'm reading:
I'm going to stop reading A Dance with Dragons and the two Star Wars books for now and wrap up Empire, Incorporated and Determined while I continue on with Das Kapital.
Bonus question:
What do you PLAN to read later on?
Enjoy!
A friend of mine gave me a copy of Psychopolitics that has been starting at me with guilty daggers for weeks now. I should really start on that.
NSFW VR stuff

When I finish off the alpha of the CCP Milker project I'm working on, I've got an idea for a sensual VR experience for Vulva owners that's been tickling my creativity center. It's not fully formed but I want it to play around with emotional abstractions and synesthesia to induce deeper levels of arousal. So I've been thumbing through Modern Sex Magick by Donald Michael Kraig to deconstruct rituals associating feelings to symbols.Psychopolitics sounds like an interesting title.
As someone that loves the topic of psychology (huge Lev Vygotsky fan).
It looks interesting enough, but I hate reading philosophy because it always feels like each book should include a list of prerequisite reading to conduct first before you can appreciate what the author is trying to say. As someone pretending to be a game designer, I spend more time focusing on the behavior mechanics covered in like marketing studies than I do on like really abstract theory.
edit: it's from Verso though, and their stuff is usually decent enough.
Verso's generally great so maybe you're in good hands.
That's the hope!
