I loved The Queen's Gambit - I am sure you will too :D
Yes, I love Sidney's twisted tales of the human psyche haha
You have to read Master of the Game :D
Perhaps you are more visual than auditory... not that I know what my style is
Also, perhaps it worked for me because I was doing chores and my kids stay away from me when I do chores in case they have to do something for me hahaha
I think that's the magic and PS, you style is perfect ;)
