Masters of Doom May 25th 2009, ricardo


Somehow, the film Choke made me buy four Chuck Palahniuk books last Christmas. I'm usually really bad on this, I buy books but I don't read them, mostly because I read very slowly. But thanks to Chuck I'm gave it another try. After fully reading Choke and Fight Club (2 books in a year it's a record already) I was now reading Masters of Doom which Andreas recommended and lent (thx!).

If you played Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D and Doom back in the days, you'll want to read this as it explains how they were done. Pure nerd-gossip.

This was my first novel fully read in english. I was hooked up from the first page to the last. Amazing reading for creative people and IT enterpreneurs xD
