I just finished The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown.

9/10 A very entertaining read, I preferred Angels & Demons, though.

And I'm just about to start The Partner by John Grisham. Read the book years ago and thought I would read it again.

I am currently reading Emperor: The Field of Swords by Conn Iggulden.

It is book 3 of 4 and the versions I have;

Emperor: The Gates of Rome (Softcover - 1st ed.)

Emperor: The Death of Kings (Softcover - 1st ed.)

Emperor: The Field of Swords (Softcover - 1st ed.)

Emperor: The Gods of War (Hardcover - 1st ed.)

The second edition is actually sold as a combo of all the books and has crappier coverart.

To revive this thread...

After I finished all the currently available Dexter books, I moved onto the Sherlock Holmes novels/stories. I've read all of them and thoroughly enjoyed them.

I just recently finished the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series (well, I haven't read the 5th, but I'm afraid to do so with so many people saying it's a complete disappointment).

Today I started reading The Hobbit and I plan to read the entire LoTR series. I'm only 14% into the book but I really like it so far.

Keep this thread alive!

EDIT: After some thought, I've decided this thread makes more sense in the Hobby Corner. However, if it seems like the majority think it should go back in the Media Room, then I'll gladly move it back. We'll see how it goes.

I'm currently reading the transcripts of the Mystery Babylon series by William Cooper. It's not a book exactly, but close enough IMO. It was a 42 episode radio broadcast that goes over the coming nwo and specifically the believes of the people that are working toward the nwo. It aired in '93 and to this day it is still the definitive source for information on the "mystery religion". I've already listened to the audio, but reading the transcript is giving me a way better understanding than just listening to the audio. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in finding the truth about the illuminati and freemasons. William Cooper predicted 9/11 months in advance and was murdered a couple months after 9/11. Coincidence?

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
