We are often asked as to what books and movies we like—and so we’ve decided to compile a list of our favourites so that we don’t have to wrinkle our foreheads trying not to forget anything good each time the question arises. The list could have been longer, of course; it doesn’t include nearly enough. Still, it’s a good place to start if you want to learn more about our non-gaming tastes.
