At the 7th chapter of "East of Eden" by John Steinback. His way with words and imagery is just a joy to read. I tried to read "Grapes of Wrath" but Eden just grips you by the third chapter onward, which doesn't happen to me often. It's really something.
Also thinking of reading "Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere" by Kawakami Minoru, a Japanese light novel series famously impenetrable and incredibly dense with its world building. Fell off twice before because I got bored, but something about it is alluring. It's filled to the brim with anime nonsense but I have some immunity to it after a lifetime of consuming Japanese stuff.
Last book I read was Bakemonogatari volume 1 by Nisioisin. Not the best book I've read, but very charming and unique and has a sense of style even with just text.
I myself have been lurking around since the P4 Endurance Run days. I was around 13 back then. A lot of stuff has happened in my life (I'm 21 now), so it's comforting to see Giant Bomb be more or less a constant in my life. The impact this site has had on my life really hit me when I happened to meet Brad and Drew at LAX two years ago. I was so flabbergasted like I was meeting my heroes. A little embarassing to admit, but what can I say, it was nice to see them face to face.
So yes, thanks to the Bomb Squad and all you duders out there!
Having not played an FPS in a while and being bored watching people play them, replaying Halo 3 was like a revelation of fun and a realization of how enjoyable the FPS genre can be.
