I have decided to include a bibliography of sources I have found related to the topic of video games as literature. Some of the books I have not yet read in their entirety, but I am including them anyway due to their apparent relevance. Enjoy! (Note that this bibliography is a work in progress and is far from complete.)
I apologize for the formatting. The MLA needs to have a talk with Blogger.
