The Langoliers by Stephen King. I saw the movie on TV when I was young. Apparently the movie wasn't well-liked, but as a kid I was more forgiving. I remember the monsters were giant flying meatballs with teeth.

It didn't exactly have the best special effects, but it followed King's novella very closely and was well acted.

A Game of Thrones by George R R Martin. I started today and I am 20% of the way through. After watching the heart-breaking miscarriage that was Season 8 (one episode left to go), I've decided that the show doesn't count, and I will consider the books to be the only Song of Ice and Fire media that exist (after I watch the finale tomorrow, for the memes).

Beautifully written, huge amounts of detailed research, and ultimately very depressing.

I'm starting, slowly, on Jewcentricity and just finished Ender's Game and Culdesac which was written by Robert Repino.

The Diviners by Libba Bray. It takes place in New York City, 1926. A serial killer is on the loose. The main character is a rebellious 17-year-old 'flapper' girl with clairvoyant powers. I'm 3/4 of the way through. I have mixed feelings about it. Most of the book is the characters going about their business, with no connection to the serial killer plot. The 1920s slang is overwhelming. Imagine if an author wrote a book that took place in 1986, and almost every piece of dialog contained "Tubular!" "Bitch'n!" "Righteous!" "No doy!".

The Invisible Man (H.G. Wells)
My brother had that particular edition of the book. I remember reading it at least twice.

Watchmen by Alan Moore, illustrated by Dave Gibbons.
I've always heard so much about this but put off reading it.
Found a nice hardcover on Amazon at a decent price.
I love the film, though I hear there some dramatic differences.
I first read Frank Miller's Dark Knight series, which I think is fantastic, and Kingdom Come, which is my favorite so far.

Currently reading a nonfiction book called Doc by Jack Olsen. A true story about a family doctor who sexually abused his female patients, and all the victims' efforts to bring him to justice.

The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero. I'm about 1/3 of the way through. There have been many laugh out loud moments so far. Watching the 'Disaster Artist' movie with James Franco is not a replacement for reading the book, at all. The book doesn't take for granted that the reader has seen The Room. My sister read this without seeing The Room first, and was still able to appreciate it (I myself have seen The Room at least three times).

How did you like the comics? I thought the changes the movie made played better for the general movie going audience than the comics plot would have. I prefer the comics but I liked the movie a lot as well.
