How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

Oh EnzymeI find it perfectly unsurprising - I do this myself (though I never buy books in bulk and all mine are secondhand and I never have unread ones and sometimes I group all the Penguins together just because I like the splash of orange it makes).
What I do find ironic though is that you catalogue your books in such a manner and yet you include Borges in that categorisation - Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, eh?
