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 resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.
