Textuality Wikis

I've been in a book club with college friends for the last few months, and our reading list has ended up being interesting and powerful. Maybe even useful! The through-line has been 'life and societal systems from the perspectives of games', and 'designing a life well-lived through communities of play'. YMMV.

• Finite and Infinite Games, James Carse
• The Well-Played Game, Bernie DeKoven
• “Bryn Mawr Commencement Address (1986)”, Ursula K. Le Guin
• The Gardens of Democracy, Eric Liu and Nick Hanauer
• “Judgement of the Birds” and “The Star Thrower” from The Star Thrower, Loren Eiseley
• Mary Oliver, Upstream (all of Section 1, and then “Emerson: An Introduction” and “Some Thoughts on Whitman” from Section 3.)

… and a host of related articles and personal reading. Personally, I've read at least parts of a few very related books in the same period:

• A Pattern Language, Alexander, Ishikawa, Silverstein, Jacobson, Fiksdahl-King, Angel
• The Infinite Playground, Bernie DeKoven with Holly Gramazio
• The Immense Journey, Loren Eiseley
• Politics is for Power, Eitan Hersh
