    In case you missed it, this is the best thing that happened today.

    I've spent way too much time thinking about classics that should be adapted into video games. If you're a game developer looking to adapt another classic, here's what I'd like to play, in order of enthusiasm.

    - Macbeth
    - Pale Fire
    - As I Lay Dying
    - Lord of the Flies
    - Moby Dick
    - Henry IV Pt.1
    - Richard III
    - Don Quixote
    - The Master and Margarita
    - Pericles
    - The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
    - Dr.Jeckyll & Mr.Hyde
    - Slaughterhouse 5
    - 1984
    - Midnight's Children
    - Grapes of Wrath
    - The Metamorphosis
    - Paradise Lost
    - Island of Dr.Moreau
    - Finnegan's Wake
    - In Search of Lost Time (this one's a dare)
