"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers."
– Charles W. Eliot
The Neverending Reading List is what I call my book collection, which I'm sharing with everyone. The "Neverending" is a jab at avid readers, myself, who know full well we will never read our entire book collection(s), but we will die trying (and don't even think about suggesting we get rid of books; thems fightin' words).
I have a few goals for this project; the main ones are to encourage reading, to share resources, and to have a bit of fun!
I, also, wish to introduce everyone to an Amazon alternative to book purchasing, Bookshop.org; the Etsy for small business bookstores. Their mission is "to help local, independent bookstores thrive in the age of ecommerce"! And, yes, I am an affiliate.
Interested in purchasing any of the books below? Check out my bookshelf The Neverending Reading List in my Rendezvous Point bookshop!

To expand the Opinions & Truth (O&T) blog, I started The Weekend Game Show (WGS) to educate on and discuss different aspects of game development, and to show why video games can take years to make, to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario.
Watch my videos on Twitch, YouTube, Steam, Rumble, and Odysee!
To provide educational material for game designers and artists, and some fun reads, I created a bookshop, the Rendezvous Point (RP), powered by Bookshop.org!
Check it out here!
In addition, I share educational quotes to promote literacy, the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium, and regarding a Cause of the Month to raise awareness, while giving Artist Shout-Outs to human artists to combat AI's spit.
Want to learn more about the Artist Shout-Outs? Click here!

The Artists Shout-Out posts can be seen in the Gallery, Discord, and more!
I’m also an artist under the handle TitansMonriArt.
