Farewell 2013

2013 was a pretty good year. We had some variety of team successes in Magic this year, including some PTQ top 8's, several SCG Invitational appearances, a Grand Prix top 8, a Pro Tour appearance, and a Sunday Super Series win. Here's to a good 2014. Happy new year.

I also read/finished 8 books this year:

- American Gods, by Neil Gaiman
- Neverwhere, by Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is the man. Great fantasy storytelling.

- The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman
- The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman
These are the latter part of His Dark Materials, which I read for the first time in middle school. I decided to read it again and found things that I did not understand back then. They were still solid books.

- Wool, by Hugh Howey
- Shift, by Hugh Howey
- Dust, by Hugh Howey
My brother kept telling me that Wool is the nuts, so I decided to give it a try. After being impressed with Wool I decided to read the rest of the Silo Saga, and it was great. It's a sci-fi trilogy with mind-blowing twists and turns everywhere.

- Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline
Suggested by several people (teammates, coworkers), this one was a blast. Another sci-fi book that was very fun to read. Full of 80's pop culture and geek culture.
