I liked it too but I think we suffered from chopped up episodes. I wish AMC had shown the full episodes.

Bates Motel definitely had a stellar season compared to S1 and S2.

I love my cherry pitter. It's not like the thing takes up that much room in the kitchen.

Hey, I just started Oryx and Crake last night! I'm having a really hard time getting into it… too much to explain about the world in the beginning, I suppose. But I've heard so many good things about the next 2 books that I'm going to power through it.

You, sir, have beaten the system. Bravo.

This is how I taught my kids to judge whether their teacher is unhinged or not. If the course expectations at the beginning of the year have multiple exclamation points, you're in for a bad time. The more exclamation points, the worse the teacher will be. It's a totally foolproof method.

Thanks!

I love Redshirts. I can see the meta humor and lack of dialogue tags not being for everyone though.

I've been searching for an affordable copy of that book for years. It should be required that libraries carry it already.

I enjoyed it. It was like a faster paced Stephen King novel without the obligatory alcoholic writer character.

Ooh, I just read In Cold Blood too! Yeah, very creepy, so well written. I love how Capote releases information so everything gets a step weirder with each chapter. And Discworld will grow on you. The early ones are rough and a reaction to fantasy tropes that we've all deconstructed a million times since they were…

I think my favorite this year came out in late 2014: Tinseltown: Morphine, Murder, and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood. It got me hooked on silent movie stories. Although I just re-read Ramsey Campbell's Grin of the Dark and I'm still confused as to what point he was trying to make.

I went through a couple Octavia Butler novels this year but not that one. You've sold me on it. It's the sequel to Parable of the Sower, right? Kindred would be my recommendation from her. Brutally good.

The one I go back to most is Road To Ruin. It has a much more modern feel than the others (Ponzi scheme banker sentenced to house arrest) and it's just so, so funny.

I just finished More Than This and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel. I loved his early books and it's great to see him getting known more widely.

Is it not a wig? I remember he was blond on the Walking Dead. Anyway, I love his hair on Gotham. Just one more ridiculous thing to add to the heap of ridiculous that show represents.

All the Star Trek TOS wigs were hideous. They aged the female guest stars and made them all look like someone's misguided drunken aunt. Which I guess is how women all look in the future or something?

Oh yes, read Kindred. You will not regret it!

It made my day to see this article. There's nothing better after an exhausting week than sitting down on Friday night with a drink and a new episode of Z Nation. Roberta is the perfect leader of this group, and frankly, I find the world building (groups trading drugs and ammo as currency) more to my taste than TWD's…

Ann Frankly they didn't care. (Yeah, I'm already sorry.)
