No, I don't have cable TV and it's not on Netflix. My dad watches it and says it's good. I'd rather read the books first though.

ok...even more important....have been able to stay spoiler free? :)

So far yeah, because I was never interested in it before so I never bothered looking anything up.

Just finished Lolita by Nabokov. What an elegant fukin' writer! Enjoyed it a lot, although small parts did drag. Now I need to see the film again.

Gonna start reading Pale Fire tonight at work.

Been reading a collection of Henrik Ibsen's plays, blowing my mind.

Just finished Totally Wired, Simon Reynolds' follow up to Rip It Up And Start Again. I enjoyed it, there were some great interviews from Mark Mothersbaugh, Linder Sterling, Alan Vega, etc.

Next on the list is Philip Roth's The Human Stain, and Deborah Curtis' book about Ian, Touching From A Distance.

Picked up Stephen King's "Carrie" for $1.75 the other day at the bookstore, just for fun.

This is one of those things where the book is definitely better than the film.

(But the original film is still best. Sissy Spacek is the cutest.)

It's been nearly 2 years since I quit reading the Wheel of Time series because the fifth book pissed me off.

Picked it back up again with intent to power through to the end of it. Currently on Lord of Chaos.

If it pissed you off cause the series started to slow the **** down, then I don't know if you're gonna want to keep going. Down the line I'm pretty sure they used an entire book for some of the characters to go down a road. Possibly a second as well. After Jordan died and the new guy took over the pace picks back up (for obvious reasons), but that's like book 12. I only kept reading just because I liked the characters, but it was a serious slog at times.

Of course if the benevolent sexism is what pisses you off then just be glad you're not reading the Sword of Truth series.
