Jon Peterson - Playing at the World.

It's the scholarly study of the early history of role-playing games and Dungeons & Dragons and far to good to be self-published. It should have come out from Oxford University Press or some other prestigious academic press.

I’ve always wanted to play D&D, and this sounds interesting! Added to the list!

Wild Animus by Rich Shapero is borderline outsider art. It’s the story of a college student who becomes obsessed with rams and the esoteric entity “Animus”, so he leeches off his girlfriend as he tries to discover himself by taking LSD, going off into the mountains, and dressing like a mountain goat. There’s also a pack of wolves that are both real and a metaphor for his love life.

It’s written by a millionaire tech guy who had a midlife crisis and decided to finally write his book. It’s awkward and self-indulgent, but I love it. It’s passion with no reins holding it back. There’s an accompanying new agey folk album sung by the author, which is just icing on the cake.

Arrow’s Flight by M. B. Strang

It’s a fantasy novel with great characters. I’m not a big fantasy reader but I loved it. It’s available on Amazon or via the author’s website.
