Very disappointed that we haven’t seen more games in the vein of The Typing of the Dead, but I guess the last one didn’t sell well enough to spawn further imitators. Or maybe people just don’t touch-type anymore.

I’ve had a few in my Steam discovery queue. Nothing AAA mind you, all indies.
The weirdest one wasa Vampire Survivors clone.

Wow, maybe that would break me of the IBM Selectric-instilled habit of automatically going back to correct every single typo in the moment.
Me too!

Those French and Russian classics seem to be in English?
And Lady Chatterley seems to be too entertaining.

This is a great idea. At first I found it hard to concentrate on the story since reading speed is so much faster than typing speed. But, when I switched to Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother, I began really enjoying the story. When I finished Chapter One, these cool stats (if you’re interested in that kind of thing) came up.
I look forward to reading the rest of this book (not sure if I’ll type the entire thing though!)
