second only to the scrabble dictionary

Jill4 Comments

Thanks to Scott at GrandTextAuto and to Maggie Green at the gamer blog Kotaku for the writeups of the World of Warcraft Reader. It’s exciting to see what people think of the book – actually, we still haven’t heard what any real readers think about it after having read it, so we’re rather looking forward to that. Eek.

I’m also proud to announce that our anthology is currently the #2 bestseller in Amazon.com’s Puzzles and Games/Reference section, second only to the Scrabble Dictionary. How’s that for success!!?

    Congrats, Jill! Looking forward to getting my copy in the mail any day now.

    Shane Hinton and I recently launched a gaming podcast called First Wall Rebate that has an academic slant. We’re starting a book club and want to begin with The WoW Reader for our first discussion in late June/early July. I know you are currently on leave, but would you be interested in an exchange of some kind, either on the podcast (via Skype…), email, message board, etc? If so, would you kindly contact me and let me know? Feel free to contact me via the show blog at http://firstwallrebate.wordpress.com.

    Thank you in advance. Again, congratulations!!

From 17th century book factories to AI-generated literature

When I studied literature we mostly read the classics. Great literature, the canon. But that’s not necessarily what most people actually read. What if instead of comparing AI-generated literature to the literary canon, we tried comparing it to super popular and commercial forms of literature instead? Like the folkebøker that […]
