Name the last three books you have read...

It just depends. I go through moods where all I want to do is read, and I've been in that mood for a while. Rather than spending a lot of time watching TV or movies, I use that time to read these days. I read while I'm eating/taking breaks at work, while sitting in the waiting room for appointments, or whenever I have a spare moment. I always have a book with me. I've always been a fast reader, especially if I'm enjoying the book. Reading a lot is also a good stress reliever, which helps keep me sane.

 

The book was great. I recommend reading it if you haven't. I waited to watch the movie until I'd read the book, and I actually watched the movie yesterday. The book, as in most cases, was way better than the movie. The movie was okay, but it wasn't worthy of the Oscar it won in my opinion. It just didn't live up to the hype. They did do a good job with set design though. If you've watched it, what did you think?

 

This one was identified as horror, but it's actually a thriller/action book:




First book in a thriller/crime series. My only complaint was the number of mistakes in the book distracting me. The story flowed pretty well otherwise though:

 

No, I haven't watched any of it yet. I wanted to read the book first, They had a good deal on the 10th anniversary edition, so I finally bought it. The book is good, and I'm hoping the show won't disappoint. I'm not in any hurry to watch it though, mostly because I'm cheap frugal and don't want to spend any extra money on streaming right now. Ricky whittle looks a lot better bald though; he looked kinda goofy before he shaved his head.

Have you read and/or watched yet? What do you think of the book vs show?

 

Sounds like it's worth watching. The mythologies are the biggest draw for me. I'll probably watch it when I have some down time, maybe on one of the holiday breaks from work. I haven't read Anasi Boys yet, but I did "borrow" it from Amazon Prime recently and will be reading it soon.

 

No. It's another series I haven't gotten around to yet. I also hadn't heard about it until a few years ago. A friend who owns the hardcover set said he'd let me borrow them sometime, but he's yet to hand them over. I guess I need to remind him since it's been a good while since he offered. I actually forgot all about them, so I'm sure he did too. Sounds like another show to add to my growing list. Thanks for the info.

 

This one was disappointing.
