This is great! 'The History of the World in Six Glasses" and "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" look especially intriguing.

I've read Victor Frankel and Nietzsche before, otherwise they would be intriguing as well.

I'm currently reading Steinbeck's East of Eden, and it may be a while before I finish it. But, when I do, I thank you for the next in queue.

I like where this list is going, having read all those. I'm curious what else you would add to it!

Anything by Glenn Gould! (As long as the recording removes the vocals...)

This reads more like a traditional "monkey's paw" scenario though

Bananas are shipped green, and in refrigerated shipping containers. They ripen them in warmer containers at Port.

From that moment on, the clock is ticking.

The third act started on a punch to the gut that marred the playful fun the game had built up to that point.

Maybe it was because I had done Iki Island (director's cut DLC) just before starting the third act, and it was pretty amazing. I think it hit the redemption notes of starting from scratch much better than the third act did.

Even moreso, it was also hard for me to buy the contempt against the ghost for going rogue. You'd think they would appreciate someone taking out entire armies by themselves.
