Book Impressions: A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
I jumped right from A Game of Thrones to A Clash of Kings, Book 2 of “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. Once again I listened to the unabridged 36+ hour audiobook read masterfully by Roy Dotrice. The book unapologetically picks up right where the first book left off, with very…

APPraisal: Frotz
‘Appy Monday Interaction Fiction fans! For those who don’t know, Interactive Fiction (IF) games, a.k.a. text adventures, were popular back in the 70’s and 80’s, when games weren’t defined by the quantity of their pixels.
