Just started reading Dearly Devoted Dexter. The second book in the dexter novels. The books are good, but I'm starting to think that the series is actually better. Rare I know.

Personally I think the series is a lot, lot better than the books. You're right though, it is rare for an adaptation to be better than the source material.

The only novel that ever interested me in the slightest was Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimension.

Any suggestions?

(sidenote: do you find youself reading the Dexter novels in the voice of Dexter from the show? :))

For some reason no, but I've recently started re-watching, for the first time since they originally aired, Six Feet Under. And I do wonder sometimes, if perhaps David Fisher (Michael C. Hall) has a split personality - on the one hand, he's David Fisher, then at night, he becomes Dexter Morgan ;)

I hear the articles are well rounded, and to the point ;)

Yeah, not so well rounded as they were in the old days, but they do get to the point .

The English Patient...

*sigh* well I SHOULD read it, but the dealer doesn't deliver it... or to say: the postman is lazy ?.?

Should have read it by tomorrow... creeps!

Anyone has an ideal how to get a good solid first overview about The English Patient?

I'm not talking random internet comprehensions here. (You don't now how good they are until you have read it yourself for comparison! argh!)

Maybe a good audiobook? Shortened?

Or a good comprehension? (On a further note, I'd like to still read it after tomorrow, so it'd be good to have one, that doesn't spoil the end. (like: leave out last paragraph and you know the book well enough for a first 90 minutes lesson!))

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
