Nora Ephron recommended The Golden Notebook in Books (curated)

The Golden Notebook
Doris Lessing | 2013 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"At an early point in this novel, Lessing’s heroine, Anna, says that she wishes she could write ‘a book powered with an intellectual or moral passion strong enough to create order, to create a new way of looking at life.’ That’s as good a way as any to describe this book and its effect on me—but it’s also a genuinely involving and surprisingly enjoyable read, especially given that it is by a writer with almost no sense of humor. There was a time when I believed that any modern woman had to read The Golden Notebook, but I’m no longer given to pronouncements that are quite so doctrinaire."

Not really a Civilization game, but close. The game pieces leave something to be desired. (0 more)
Quick Tableau Builder
This is a quick game that is as close to a Civilization game can get in 30 minutes or so. Players could end up taking long turns, if they are overthinking their turns. Enjoy, the fast pace of the game and just play tactically, not strategically. There is quite a bit of luck in which cards show up, but it shouldn't matter. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, neither should you, just enjoy the short engaging brain tickle this game gives.
