+1 for 50 Years. Did not expect to be pulled into the writing so much, it was like reading a novel. Had been waiting for the print version for nearly a year when the PDF version came, blazed my way through half the PDF before the book came and then just kept going. Reed did an amazing job and I have a lot of follow-up reading to do (there are extensive links / bibliography after each chapter).
Tokyo Express - Seicho Matsumoto [2] -- very japanese crime story, liked it
And my absolute delight:
50 Years of Text Games - Aaron A. Reed [3] -- I am just a sucker for everything text game/hypertext/interactive fiction. This book is amazing.
