Just finished re-reading The Long Walk and The Running Man by Stephen King. Both got movie adaptations that were pretty great in the past year. I finished The Running Man in a single night. Peak cyberpunk and AH dystopias from Ol' Stevie's alter ego.
Also tried reading The Crystal Shard by R.A Salvatore, and it reminded me of why I typically dislike fantasy stuff (aside from Urban Fantasy which I love). One thing about it is that it does a good job of conveying the game mechanics and tropes of D&D, but I found it to be a far more cumbersome and annoying feature in literary form then it would be in a filmed adaptation like Fallout (which does an excellent job of conveying tropes and game mechanics like the Bloody Mess perk and encounters with wasteland weirdoes and water beggars in a different medium than the source without getting annoying).
