Just really enjoyed, 'Different Times: A History of British Comedy' by David Stubbs.. Really good.
"Ready Player One" is an exciting story about a guy searching for treasure in a captivating virtual world. The book is full of adventures, humor, and references to famous games and movies. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm enjoying it. I started reading it because I saw a review on a website saying it's a must-read for adventure-loving gamers, and so far, it's living up to the recommendation!

Just finished "Ready Player One" and now I've started reading "Neuromancer" by William Gibson. Only 20 pages in, and I'm completely immersed in that atmosphere.
On to the next book in the Christmas stack.
The Glutton A K Blakemore.
A fictional novel, but based on a historical figure - a french peasant boy who literally ate everything, yet was always hungry.
Somewhat weird, but beautifully written.
Christmas pressie? A book about a glutton?
Is someone trying to tell you something?! 😬
The thought temporarily crossed my mind.
But then I was distracted by a mince-pie.

Glad you liked Ready Player One. I enjoyed it myself. Have you ever seen the film?
I'd also recommend the more recent Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow if you like books about gaming.
Just started The Terror by Dan Simmons.
