Just finished Henk Roger’s The Perfect Game eariler today, which inspired me to go and play another round of Tetris Forever with a little bit of Gaiden, Famicom, and the Electronika 60!

More Everything Forever currently feels like a long read so I’m backing it up with a couple of other books for this month’s #FridayReads (and also into early April).

Both titles have been on my shelves for a *long time* and are overdue for a proper read!

This week I'm reading 'The Empire of Tea' by Alan MacFarlane

This is a nonfiction history looking at the rise of tea in human society and mainly how it shaped and was shaped by the British Empire with a particular focus on the efforts to develop tea production in the Assam region of India.
It's okay so far, a little unfocused at times, and I'm hoping that later on it becomes more critical of imperialism.
