I am foremost a voracious reader, often consuming books through my ears via Audible. I setup this page as a means for my friends to recommend me movies, games, and books and I welcome you to leave an anonymous recommendation as well. You may comment here.

My Recommendations:

In evaluating videogames, books, etc. that I am inspired by, I found that a large part of what made these things special was what they specifically meant to me. For example, The Beginner's Guide is my favorite videogame of all time, but I would likely not recommend it to most people. For this reason, and because I love lists and the cathartic practice of sorting things, each category lists items top-to-bottom with respect to their impact on my personal point of view. Beside each item is a score of 1 to -1 where 1 is a hard recommendation to the common person and -1 is a hard anti-recommendation to the common person despite how much it means to me.
