Not for me for...DJ, believe it or not.

Seriously. We came home from seeing The Hunger Games and he decided he wanted to read it. And he did...in a week. Then he asked me to help him get a Fire because he hated carrying books around. I went half with him and boom. He's devouring books like a termite in a wood pile.

Yeah, you read that right. DJ. The gamer.

So! My problem is that I'm running out of things to recommend for him. Right now he's eating up dystopian/post-apocalyptic stuff.

To date, he has read:

Collins' The Hunger Games
Roth's Divergent/Insurgent
Aguirre's Enclave
Lu's Legend

And I think he's starting either Wells' Partials or Dashner's Maze Runner tonight (he's started reading the free samples first - if the first chapter doesn't pull him, he won't continue...and the first victim of the no-pull was Price's Starters.)

Okay, flist. What have you got? Older, newer, hit me up.

It has been awhile since we actually talked hasn't it?

I am doing well, just trying to stay afloat and out of trouble.

Since 2006, I think? Definitely qualifies as a while.

Sounds familiar. Still gaming?

Indeed it does.

Still rolling dice and moving little men, have tried a few other online games of various types, but nothing ever seems to fit well or maybe I was just spoiled on my first game out ;)

They still haven't been able to get me to tabletop =)

I played for a few years more after the implosion and then I ended up needing to take a few years off for sanity. It got...well, as bad as it gets. I was pretty wrecked for a year.

I'm in a huge game at the moment - huge in scope but still strangely intimate. Pan-fandom this time, which is fun in it's absolute strangeness (Picture Frodo Baggins talking to Wolverine...)

Tabletop can be hard to get into.

Yeah I took a lot of time off since WN, mostly stuck to physical world.

Then got into a couple of games both nothing ever felt just right.

I tried a couple of small Pans, but still have yet to find anything with the right fit.

My game is...not small =)) but it is intimate, if that makes any sense. it's an eclectic group, that's for sure.

I'm happy enough with it so long as I keep my zen and remember that the days of 150 comments in a night are behind me now....oh those epic threads :D
