What I Read In Barcelona

* ‘De aartsvaders’ (literally ‘The Patriarchs’) by Wim Wennekes – a fascinating business history book on the founding fathers of Dutch industry

* ‘Reus’ (literally ‘Giant’) by Annelies Verbeke – which was fun to read but didn’t entirely satisfy me, and the games issue of ‘Wired’ co-edited by game designer Will Wright — it was great, I missed a couple of longer, more in-depth articles though.

* ‘”Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche”:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375725806/104-5333496-6737506′ by Haruki Murakami – a non-fiction work. Didn’t care too much for Murakami’s social commentary but found the victims’ testimonies quite gripping.
