Does anyone even care if he finishes now? It would be pretty dumb to change the story from the show at this point no matter how badly it ended.

The only people I know who've read the books are over it. The show burned them that severely, I guess.

"What if the books end differently?"
"Don't care."

I tried reading one of the books after the series was over but it wasn’t different enough from the show to be bothered further.

The Raiders will win a Super Bowl before he finishes the series.

I was reading them before then stopped because it was ruining the show for me.

Lots of this revision and censorship happening now.

Ridiculous. Just put a disclaimer at the beginning.

as much as I don't like it, revisions of books and media isn't anything new. That's why first editions are so valuable.

A man called Ove is solid. The Tom Hanks movie Otto is based on it. Not really my typical genre but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also read it before seeing the movie or even knowing it was related.

Mark Twain’s “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” remains my favorite book of all time. I’ve read Homer’s “Odyssey” three or four times. I went through a phase where I devoured O. Henry’s short stories. And, people can say whatever, but I freaking love Shakespeare! Recently read “Catcher in the Rye” and thought it pretty much sucked. His little sister was the only saving grace.

Shakespeare is the GOAT.

MacBeth is the greatest play ever but Henry V is my favorite.
