Arcane Cache: Review to Glittering Light 2
A ASCII art game that breaks with quite some conventions in a wonderful way. Instead of moving an @ through a maze of lines, it feels like moving through a strange, mysterious world ... a game with a limited, set scope, where the atmosphere and the fundamental idea of the game are much more important than the balance or the gameplay ... a parabola on life itself.

"In Shackleton's Footsteps: A Return to the Heart of the Antarctic" by Henry Worsley. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2011.
Book description: Shackleton's descendants take on the expedition that beat him, in the most extreme Antarctic challenge known to man. On the 29th of October 1908, a party of four men, led by Ernest Shackleton, set out to be the first to reach the South Pole. Three months later, their mission was in ruins and they faced certain death if they carried on. Just 97 miles from the South Pole, Shackleton turned back.
October 2008, a team that included descendants of that original party, led by Henry Worsley, set out from Shackleton's hut to celebrate the centenary of his expedition by retracing the exact 870 mile route and going on to finish the last 97 miles.
This book weaves together the two expeditions, and the parallels are striking. I think. I really enjoyed this book.
