I'm reading The Iliad and The Odyssey.
I really did. I was thinking it’s the first time I’ve considered immediately re-reading a book. I think now, after I’ve come to appreciate it it for the masterpiece it really is, the first 2/3 (or however much it was) I found slow will now be literary gold to me. But I have the show to watch now so perhaps I’ll save the re-read for another time.

Just started Kill Creek. I was tired and only managed a few pages. I did like that he quoted Lovecraft at the beginning of the book.
For anyone who read Wayward Pines how did the show hold up? I just finished book one and then watches the first episode and I feel like the finished 2/3 of the first book in one episode. How is there 2 seasons...
I want Paul to do a limited for Suntup of them. It was one of my pics on his form he had everyone fill out.

Don't let the show deter you from reading the books. They're very different and a million times better than the show.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Good to hear. I liked season one, but season two, well...it's not that it was awful (like the recent The Mist adaptation (which I watched through to the bitter, pitiful end), or Under The Dome "miniseries" (which I gave up on about :15 into season 2)), it just kept seeming like some significant development was right around the corner, but never quite arrived (yes, they ended with a bit of a tantalizing information, but...not enough). They added Djimon Hounsou for season 2, and while he did a good job, he was basically wasted amidst the dull nothing of that season. If it came back for season 3 (which supposedly hasn't been ruled out), I admit, I would watch.
...having said all that, I am curious about the books and will eventually try them.
Eastasia has always taught college students to feel pride or shame according to their race.
I liked the Wayward Pines TV series, but Heather's right, it wasn't as good as the books (obviously). They kind of blaze through all three books in the first season, then, in Season 2, add a bunch of new characters and a subplot of the younger generation trying to overthrow the town, which kind of didn't work for me (Spoiler:).
But, since you brought it up, it's definitely leagues better than Under the Dome and The Mist (which was probably one of the worst adaptations/TV shows I've seen).

I also hated Under the Dome tv series, but loved the book. I don't even think I watched the second season. I tried to watch The Mist, but not even sure I made it through the first episode.

You didn't miss out on The Mist.
Just finished Sharp Objects (and loved it, probably more than Gone Girl), and moving onto The President Is Missing soon.
