[Quiet Man Cometh]

I'm actually close to finishing my two books but I'm bouncing between each because I don't know which one I want to finish first! My genre book or my other book.

I still find myself interested in my video game book each time I pick it up. I wonder if I can't get away with sliding it under "book on about a difficult topic" as, while it's focus is video games, so far we've looked at them in the context of depression, societal upheaval, life trauma, etc.

The chapter I just read on "Empathy" talked about the different thoughts on video game like Battlefield 3 or Call of Duty in countries like Iran. Video games are encouraged by parents because they keep kids entertained inside where it's safer than playing out in the streets where they could get shot or caught in a suicide bombing. The warfare in the games isn't seen as a big deal because it's what's going on already.
