I read an odd, beautifully written science-fiction novel and loved it, but lists of ‘best sci-fi’ mostly suggest action-heavy series that don't sound similar at all. Maybe what I enjoyed wasn't the genre label but its la...
I usually learn board games from the rulebook because I can reread tricky exceptions. A friend watches a ten-minute video and understands the overall flow immediately, but misses small restrictions. Maybe the best sequen...
