Get a First Life

I love nothing better than a good parody.

    That’s LibraryThing. You can wander around FirstLife for free unless you want new clothes or to play Bingo. You can upgrade to a “Premium” account if you want to own land, real land that you can build on or sell to someone else in Firstlife. I still have a “basic” account so I’m renting space on a sim owned by someone else.

    I’ve also recently been exploring museums in First Life. Recently I’ve been to several on an island called Manhattan.

Though, of course, my fantasy self couldn’t actually read my unreal book because an avatar doesn’t read or do anything, being entirely dependent on the will and brainpower of a real self out here in First Life directing it. — Jenny Diski [...]
