Re: What the MUDers are reading right now?
obit, you are my hero.
OK, off the top of my head, what I'm reading now:
Second Person: Role-Playing and Story in Games and Playable Media, Wardrip-Fruin and Harrigan ed.
The Arabian Nightmare, Robert Irwin
Flaming London, Joe Lansdale
Hamlet on the Holodeck: The Future of Narrative in Cyberspace, Janet Murray
S/Z, Roland Barthes
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, Italo Calvino
Metamorphoses, Ovid
In the Night Garden, Cathryn Valente
Game Writing: Narrative Skills for Videogames, Chris Bateman ed.
My problem is that it takes me months sometimes to finish a book...nevertheless, I would recommend all of these books, though Night Garden is almost too flowery for my taste.
