if you’re going to say you just updated this, maybe you should have checked which ones are still available on Prime?

but all that’s been retread ad nauseum

“As it turns out, Mark Watney’s voice may actually just be that of Andy Weir”

I saw Beck this past summer. His playing of Loser was the absolute epitome of ‘I hate having to trot this thing out for you guys’.

It’s funny that they’re trying to get critics to not spoil anything when Scott gave it all away in the Ford profile in GQ

jesus christ, Bag of Bones. I’m not going to retype my rant again today, but I’ve bitched about that book here many times. That is one of King’s best books, and really showed him taking a different tack than he had before, and then he throws the whole thing out the window with the ending. Just like I threw the book…

Not to mention DiCaprio in The Revenant, which is even more one note

I'm no expert on throne inheritance, but multiple sites have claimed, essentially " Any legitimate child of Rhaegar, who was the crown prince and heir after the Mad King, would have a better claim than Daenerys.". And at this point I'm trusting that not all of these places are wrong.

I really don't expect the show to deal with it in any way, given how little time they have, but the idea of Dany having to come to grips with Jon being the rightful heir to the throne after she has spent her life believing it was her destiny is a really rich vein to mine.

That's a fascinating ranking to me, because I would put Liar's Club as an example of what the genre can aspire to, and the Glass Castle as the genre at its worst (ie, I retelling of an awful childhood with no self-examination whatsoever)

I'm going to take this opportunity to bitch about the book.

The point of the NYT piece was not in any way to try and hold the restaurant to an incorrect standard.

Redshirts is a perfectly fine, enjoyable novel, but I don't understand how it garnered all the praise it got.

well, a two-hour pilot. which you might think is a quibble, but it's 30% more runtime.

I wish I could somehow adopt this mindset occasionally, as it would probably make me a happier person, but I'd rather books I love not be adapted than be adapted in this fashion.

you can't even cover book 1 in 95 min

Thanks for the reply. I'll keep an open mind and check it out. I'm definitely in the market for a new cookbook to explore.

The Savoy is a classic, obviously, and any serious cocktailian will reference it, but it's not for someone getting started.

judging by the responses, this question was phrased poorly. "I'll save something of sentimental value" is not an interesting answer.

I really enjoy cooking and trying new dishes, and I'd even so far to call cooking in my kitchen one of my hobbies, but the key is that it's *one* of my hobbies. Some of these incredibly detailed, highly picky cookbooks just baffle me for actual use, as much as I love to look at them and read them.
