Thanks for the comment, I know I mention programming, but I would like to see the group stay at a more abstract level, so that we can deal with ideas and models for different game design strategies. we can always go in later and work out the details from a coding-standpoint (of course it would be nice to see such models applied in code :)

no, mi tio tiene unos colegas alli y me mude a buenos aires por un tiempo para trabajar por ellos. Soy estadounidense (si, desafortunadamente tengo que afiliarme a este gobierno tan imperial, pero se puede luchar para cambiarlo)

Hey guys, what say you we pick a book to read and then start posting comments about it? Here are some preliminary suggestions of books I've wanted to read but as of yet have been unable (probably public domain books are going to be the best option so we don't have to buy anything): okay,
1) Das Schloss or Der Prozess (EN: The Castle / The Trail) by Franz Kafka
2) Enders Game - Orson Scott Card
3) Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut
4) Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
5) Battlefield Earth - L. Ron Hubbard
- so these are just some preliminary suggestions, add others and lets get the discussion going for deciding on a book that we could talk about!

Anyone here seen a series called "Outlaw Star"? A friend of mine showed me an episode a while back and it seemed pretty interesting... I'm hoping to have luck finding it online, just thought I'd throw the name out there though and maybe provoke some comments by fans (or antifans) of the series. :)

I like it. Its simple, straightforward, and above all clear (which is a must). I think you could still possibly play with the boxes behind the texts to give it a little bit of a sleeker feel (if that's something you'd like).
check out the boxes on this website Exino.com -- but overall really good (these are just suggestions)

Hey guys I've been completely occupied with copious amounts of boring schoolwork, but I thought I'd share some of the books I've been reading with you. The first is Underground by Haruki Marukami and it really is amazing. Its essentially about a terrorist attack carried out by a cult called Aum in Japan in the mid 90's, but the way in which its written forces you to question so many principles and assumptions made by society and even the individual that it becomes a powerfully engaging book. The second is Don Quixote, and guys if you've never read this one you have to. Its absolutely hilarious, it pokes fun of everything and beautifully satirizes the whole chivalric romance genre (or libros de caballerias as they're called in DQ) but anyway, those are my two most recent books so if you want to read about terrorism and death and philosophical issues pick up Underground, and if you want philosophy through humor and comedy read about good ol' don quixote de la mancha.

hey mularac, Alice and Wonderland is a great book and yes, translations are never as good as the originals (I think at least), Carroll was also a mathematician and wrote an interesting short treatise on logic called "The Game of Logic" where he explains the basic principles of propositions, fallacies, syllogisms, etc, it can be found at Etc.usf.edu along with tons of other audiobooks and classics if you or anyone'd be interested in reading them. Tambien me interesa la literatura en espanol pero desafortunadamente no conozco muchos autores (solo el famoso y muy buen escritor Jorge luis borges) asi que si me podes recomendar algunos te estaria agradecido!)

Well my droogs, I just read a clockwork orange after viddying the move for the upteenth time by Kubrik and I have to govoreet with not so many like slovos that it was real real horrorshow!! Literally, that is what it was like reading this classic by Anthony Burgess, there is so much nadsat (the slang teen language used by the protagonist Alex) that for the first couple of pages its difficult to understand what's going on, but luckily most of its understandable from the context. I read the version of the book published in London so like many of you probably know, there was a completely different ending (which I'm not going to spoil), but I would actually caution against reading it, because it completely changes the entire meaning for the book/film. Other's that have read the book/watched the movie are welcome to commit with their slovos about this like genius veck named Kubrik and basically anything in this alternate universe of horrrorshow ultraviolence.

Thought I'd put a short list up here of what I've read recently, in hopes that someone might find a book on this list interesting (like malleus maleficarum which sounds really cool Bloodstalker maybe I can brush up on my rusty latin with it) anyway here they are:
- The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk - Pamuk is an eloquent turkish author and this book was a vivid foray into the human condition and turmoils of day to day life as experienced by a member of the turkish aristocracy in the 70's. (very post modern and existentialist - hope that doesn't ward anyone off)
- Thomas Macualay's History of England - available at librivox for those disinclined to read, this is history brilliantly narrated and an accurate but not overly detailed read for anyone interested in the little island that ruled the world.
- Sherlock Holmes "Valley of Fear" - I'm actually not through yet, so there's no final verdict but any tale by Conan Doyle set in this fictional universe of exotic lands and masterminds of crime and deduction (ie: Doctor Moriarty and of course Sherlock himself) is bound to be good. A suggest actually "A Study in Scarlet" to anyone new to the Holmes universe, since it does a fantastic job of establishing typical themes and characters used throughout the series.
Ok, well that's it and I hope maybe someone will find something to spark their reading interest.
