[QUOTE="DeviousQuail, post: 8513011, member: 7025431"] I couldn't bring myself to finish reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was so boring. How it became such a popular novel I will never know. After that I decided to read The Raven Spell by Luanne G. Smith because it was recommended (and free!) on my kindle. It's a pretty good magical murder mystery. The magic leans toward a softer approach but my suspension of disbelief never faltered. It's the first in a series and the next book is coming at the end of 2022 and I'll probably buy it. Having some extra time on my hands I was going to watch the second season of A Discovery of Witches but it's not on Amazon like the first season. I decided to borrow the first book of the trilogy that the show is based on. It covers pretty much all the same events as season 1 of the show. Turns out, the show is better than the book. Rare but it does happen. The book is better in some regards, particularly in showing off the depth of Diana's (the main character) knowledge and how much her senses of taste, smell, etc impact her view of the world around her. But the show does such a better job of fleshing out the other characters, both major and minor. The show does take its liberties with the story as shows are wont to do but in just about every aspect it did it better than the book. I've moved onto John Dies At The End by Jason Pargin. It promises Lovecraft like horror but with a lot more comedy. Not my normal cup of tea but we'll see how it goes. [/QUOTE]
