Hello, world!
I created this account a few years ago but never really used it…

Time for a proper #introduction 😜

I was Born in 1972, am married, no children.

I work as a Game Developer for Lab4Games, a collective of board game publishing studios (Days of Wonder, Space Cowboys, Libellud, Repos Prod, Next Move).

A fan of #boardgames (and #poker), I’m also into #movies (mainly #sci-fi and #fantasy), #novels, #comics, and #TVshows.
Basically, a geek in a nutshell...

I also practice #Archery and #NordicWalking.

Still not quite sure how all this works, so bear with me—sorry if I miss anything!

@geospacedman I had forgotten about that one! 🙂

I think it would apply even more to Agatha Christie's fellow Detection Club member Freeman Wills Crofts (sometimes it seems like most of Croft's novels involve breaking "unbreakable" alibis using train timetables, probably because he was an engineer specialising in railroads before he took up writing full-time).

It's wild reading 1930s novels and seeing how reliable rail travel once was in the UK.

"The ship leaves Liverpool for Spain at 7:00 pm."

"There's a train that gets in at 6:25."

"That will allow more than enough time for the five of us to arrive at the station with all our steamer trunks, arrange taxis, and get onboard."

😳

"Dream Count, her new novel, is about four African women—including three who share Adichie’s Nigerian background—and their love lives. The book’s central occupation is a serious one: how men affect the existences of women, either as destructive forces, objects of longing, or distractions from women’s dreams."

Cool lineup of literary villains in a LitHub March Madness sudden death tournament.

Sure, you can't include them all, but what about #Faulkner??? Flem Snopes of The Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion), Buck Hipps of The Hamlet, Thomas Sutpen of Absalom, Absalom!? And most of all, Jason Compson of The Sound and the Fury!

What other literary villains would you add?
