Since graduate school, Saturdays have never been very productive. Before admitting to this, I would often get up early on a Saturday with every expressed intention to write, only to own up to miserable failure by 5pm. While I know better now than to attempt writing, I'm not satisfied with chalking up Saturday to a complete lack of productivity. Last semester, I took to reading one book over the course of one Saturday and this is something I want sustain over the entirety of the summer. So, as the title of this post implies, here's my reading list and a tentative schedule*.
May 1 - Hamlet on the Holodeck
May 8 - Persuasive Games
May 15 - Academic Self / Gift Of Death
May 22 - DIY U
May 29 - A Better Pencil
June 5 - Wisdom of Crowds
June 12 - Games of Empire
June 19 - Writing at the End of the World
June 26 - Structure of Scientific Revolutions
July 3 - Remix
July 10 - A Counter-History of Composition
July 17 - Understanding Video Games
July 24 - Glut
July 31 - Wealth of Networks
August 7 - Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology
August 14 - Mechanisms
August 21 - Protocol
August 28 - Always On
I welcome additions, deletions and suggestions for reorganization.
*I'm also reading Gravity's Rainbow, which I expect will take most of the summer.
