I ordered my first book for the summer and I decided to go with non-fiction. My rationale behind this is choosing something easy and fun to start before adding in more complex fiction. I chose a book I always wanted to read and I’m pretty sure I read an excerpt from back in the day. The book is Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture by Dave Kushner.
Doom by id Software was the first game that really got me into PC Gaming. I never read much about the development of Doom as I got to read about Quake; id’s polygonal first person shooter which is the reason I clock thousands of hours in Call of Duty today. I love reading these old gaming memoirs and I’m sure I’ll crush through this book quick.
I think the game plan is to alternate non-fiction and fiction books so while reading Masters of Doom–I’ll have some time to think of a fiction book I’d like to read next. I don’t think I would choose a classic and try something more contemporary as a change.
