Texting Games

I was looking for simple games to play with one of my friends and my friend sent me this link:

35 Fun Games To Play Over Text That’ll Keep You Entertained and Connected to Your Friends

This worked out really well. There are so many sites out there with games that just kill you with ads and such. Games you can play over an existing medium like SMS remove that problem. 

Malcolm X, Alex Haley, Required Reading

I just bought The Autobiography of Malcolm X. One thing that struck me was the line at the bottom--as told to Alex Haley. I generally think of an autobiography as something written by the person themselves, but I understand that this does not have to be the case. I looked at Haley's Wikipedia entry and learned some interesting things:

- He had a career in the Coast Guard

- He wrote for Playboy Magazine

- The aforementioned work was named by Time Magazine as one of the 10 most influential books of the 20th century

That got me interested in the other books. Especially because the Time Magazine article is entitled Required Reading. Wikipedia had a Wayback Machine link, but Time realized the relevance of this article and posted it to their archive. I'll have to add these to my list.
