Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Once I'm done with this, I'll probably move on to some history or philosophy, depending on how hard I feel like racking my brain.

RE: WoW Classic is coming
I'd like to play it, but I fear the same will become of it as did of Old School Runescape. OSRS is infested with old players endlessly calculating everything they do, having detailed knowledge of all the quests and mechanics and none of the kind of curiosity and sense of wonder that made MMORPGs great in the first place. Furthermore, developers started adding new content, which by itself is not so bad, but the aesthetical vision is very far from that of the original Runescape and very poorly executed (new items and buildings disproportionately large compared to player characters, vast unpopulated areas, bosses so ugly they don't look like anything in particular, etc.). I don't think the latter will become a problem with Classic, but the former just might, judging by the game guide industry on YouTube, talent and best-in-slot calculators, surveys concerning the prevalence of races, classes and professions. It's also going to suffer greatly under streamers. It's a shame really, as I missed WoW during my childhood, not having enough space on my hard drive to install the game, and having parents seriously averse to paying any kind of video game subscription. I mostly played Runescape and Guild Wars, for which I am glad, because both are (were) exceptionally atmospheric.
TL;DR: They're turning Classic into numbers, it's likely to be ruled by the min-max mentality and have no new players.
