Forever Fantasy Online by Travis Bach, Rachel Aaron
1.0
This is the first rpg-literature book I've read,though I've seen some anime on this topic. I rather liked Log Horizon, never been much of a fan of the SAO franchise. But oh boy, I'm hoping the rest of the books in this genre are better than this. Because if this is how they all are, I'm better off swearing off the whole genre right now.
Six Against the Yard by George W. Cornish, Dorothy L. Sayers, Freeman Wills Crofts, Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, Anthony Berkeley, Ronald Knox, The Detection Club, Russell Thorndike

Tales of the perfect crime, as imagined by some of the best mystery writers of old.
That certainly caught my eye. And the crimes themselves were actually a really good read. Would recommend, would read again, and all.
The commentary of the ex-CID though; that I could've done without. It all amounts to conjecture which isn't backed by anything at all, and delivered in this supremely irritating condescending tone, which had me wanting to side with the criminals, even though I'm a bit bourgeois, like Poirot, and disapprove of murder and don't excuse it.
Worse. It made me want to put down the book.
Note to self: If rereading, skip the CID-crap.
