“Being human totally sucks most of the time. Videogames are the only thing that make life bearable.” Ready Player One has been on my TBR list for a while now but the upcoming Spielberg movie adaptation raced it to the top of the pile- I could see my husband wanting to see the movie and I wanted to read it first.
