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!))

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

      It's the game developers' fault.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
