That's the spirit! I
hope you go on to read The Lord of the Rings (if you
haven't already) - it's a book that everyone on this
planet should read at least once in their lifetime
(another is Monica Seles's autobiography, Monica - From
Fear to Victory).
By the time we read The
Hobbit at school (first year of high school), I had
already read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings!
:-)
I'm also planning to read Monstrum! in the future,
and more Stephen King novels, so that I can better
appreciate the background to the JSW games.
The
Misery-inspired Kari Krisn�kov� game that I mentioned yesterday
is really growing on me, by the way. I might well do
this now, as the sequel to Goodnite Luddite, basing
the diary on the process of writing the game,
refracting the experiences I will have into fantasy, as is
my wont. The only title I've thought of so far for
this game is Kari On, although that sounds rather
tongue-in-cheek compared to We Pretty and Goodnite Luddite!
;-)
So, my provisional plan for the KK series is:
1.WE
PRETTY (1999)
2.GOODNITE LUDDITE (2002)
3.KARI
ON... (2005)
