So what are you reading this year 2021?

[Alzrius]

Continuing with the spate of non-fiction books I've been reading about tabletop RPGs in general and D&D in particular, I'm paging my way through 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of Dungeons & Dragons.

It's...not that great, so far. I mean, it's a nice coffee table book, and it has some mildly interesting anecdotes about the development of various parts of D&D, but it's as much art as it is words, a lot of the testimonials are fairly pointless, to say nothing of how the slanted (and often colorized) presentation of the actual text makes it hard to read in many places.

I'm now reading the other Destroyer novel I picked up with the one I just finished. This one is #154: Blood Brotherhood, in which a Chinese death cult tries to take out the House of Sinanju with ancient vampires. It's a "lost" novel, being shoehorned into the ongoing story line somewhere around 2002 although it was just published this year.

30 Years of Adventure is an interesting time capsule and coffee table book, but I agree, the early 00s graphic design feels so very dated (and difficult to decipher) now.

I took a pause on a book, picked up Throne of the Crescent Moon..... And finished it in a few hours. Good fantasy. Looks like he's not written more in the series.

That that book appears to be a one-and-done makes me sad. Well worth reading, and I could probably do with giving it a re-read some time.

It's a quick read. The cover says book one, but I'm not holding my breath.

Two books left in my reread of the Nero Wolfe corpus. I am fairly certain the fat man (ironically?) will be bringing them on the 25th. Not sure I'll get them both done this year.

About 3/4 of the way done with Game Wizards.
