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!))

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
