Gaiman is awesome. I just got "Norse Mythology" by him as a gift.

It is so good. It's what he does.

Yeah, exactly how I described him to the crowd when I got the book.

I'm eager to read it.

Have you read the Sandman series?

My man. I love to think of that graphic novel story as the real Odin/Thor/Loki story, this MCU stuff just shadowplay, like how even in the MCU movies they make little shadowplays of their stories....

how did you like the Netflix version? I am all for changing peoples colors, but, found it hard to believe there was a black woman in the 1910s who was super rich

anyone else remeber that weird time in the 2010s where everything had to be a trilogy? Like there was no point in the second book, but they gave you a three book deal? Twin Pines and The Magicians are the ones I really remember

I really like Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series. Combination of dumb writing, good writing, dumb bullshit, and fun bullshit. I honestly can't wait til his next book

i enjoyed the book but yeah the movie is better. the book has several other plotlines that were cut from the movie, of varying quality. also a lot of stuff that ended up in the second movie as the basis for the young vito story.

this is a weird way to explain the Harry Potter movies

Point taken, but also they're pulpy comic level stuff, takes 3-5 of them to equal a "real" read.

I really like "Devil and the White City" It's about America's first known serial killer and the Chicago world's fair. About half way in I changed gears and no longer gave a poo poo about the serial killer. Yeah, ok, whatever, he is going to kill another woman, tell me more about how they hosed up building this city and how did they fix it? It sank twice?
