Message: [QUOTE="Spyrone, post: 401935, member: 535917"] Just finished re-reading [I]The Long Walk [/I]and [I]The Running Man[/I] by Stephen King. Both got movie adaptations that were pretty great in the past year. I finished [I]The Running Man[/I] in a single night. Peak cyberpunk and AH dystopias from Ol' Stevie's alter ego. Also tried reading [I]The Crystal Shard[/I] 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). I'm still reading [I]The Living Dead.[/I] [automerge]1767778204[/automerge] Nice. I Am A Hero is my second favorite manga (after Dorohedoro). [/QUOTE]
