I'll put in a plug for his book Theory of Fun for Game Design (https://www.amazon.com/Theory-Game-Design-Raph-Koster/dp/144...). It's a great read that's accessible but also deep and thorough.

About to start A Theory of Fun for Game Design.

I have no interest in making games, but this comes highly recommended to understand applied intrinsic motivation (which I am very interested in). Grabbed it from the worrydream book list.
