Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

So I really enjoyed this book. Admittedly I wasn't sure about it in the beginning when it was just listing off tons of 80's movies, songs, games etc. But as soon as the story portion of it took off I really started to get into it.
It was nice hearing references that I remember from my childhood, but as someone who mostly missed the 80's there were a lot of specific things that were not part of my personal memory bank or experiences. That being said I would probably enjoy it even more if I had known more of the references from personal experience.
All that being said the actually meat of the story was enjoyable and I found myself caring about the characters and the outcome. And I also enjoyed the overall theme behind it. It was a great read.
