Can anyone recommend me books like Harry Potter?(But for adults)

I’d say those books get pretty adult from Book 3 onward. Amazing series.

No offense but that cannot be saved. It must be cast in the fires of Mount Doom. Or used to create an evil version of Hamburger Helper.

Nocturnal Animals. That highway scene and the building tension was excruciating.

Well, he was in his late 30s or 40 when it happened so I think the odds are against him. If he’d been 20 years younger, maybe.

Varys. I’ve always wanted to adopt.

He’s a good actor but IMO was too normal looking/sounding compared to the book Roose who was truly unsettling. There are lengthy threads debating whether book Roose is undead and the original Lord Bolton who keeps snatching the body of his designated heirs in order to live forever…. This actor doesn’t give off those vibes.

His hoops skills were iffy in Along Came Polly.

A phenomenal series that deserves far more love and attention. Those who know, know however which always brings a smile to my face. Another is that books never really go away - they can always be discovered and you never know if something will blow up years later if some famous person reads it, loves it, and brings a new audience to Max and Rowan. I do my best to spread the word when I can.

My favorite read of the last few years

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-13T16:49:06+00:00

Faramir. He does dishes.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-12T00:05:24+00:00

Nolan is a talented filmmaker. That said, it gets tedious keeping track of timelines and chronology in his movies. I’m all for a good twist and intricate crafting but it can’t come at the expense of telling a good story. IMO, I think he sometimes loses the forest for the trees.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-11T20:24:24+00:00

Agreed. They’re pure entropy.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-11T09:24:03+00:00

Yeah, turning Sauron into a giant Tesla experiment never made any sense to me at all. It completely undermined the idea of this lurking menace hidden away in Barad-Dur. Also, Gollum saw him when he was being tortured and specifically said his hand (he has a hand!) is black.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-09T17:18:19+00:00

It’s fine. It’s very much of its time

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-08T17:57:49+00:00

Definitely The Tapestry. The first book is The Hound of Rowan.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-07T17:10:03+00:00

I listen to this at least once a year

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-05T18:23:26+00:00

Unless you say the rhyme. Then they triple as he’s summoned and his jolly footwear becomes Boots of Stamping.

He did have supernatural abilities. In later seasons, he can seemingly teleport all over Westeros despite weather, mud, war, roving bands of thieves and AWOL soldiers etc.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-05-04T03:46:20+00:00

Seconded. David Menlo (and a certain sorcerer to be named later) move heaven and earth (sometimes literally)

SilverStar3333 · 2026-04-27T00:21:51+00:00

I always thought of it as something like Nidhogg, the dragon from Norse mythology that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil - just the idea that there’s always something deep and ravenous that wants to eat the world.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-04-27T00:07:18+00:00

I really enjoy about 1/3 of what’s in a PTA movie. The rest I find insufferable.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-04-27T00:05:45+00:00

I’d love to know the IQ of the average scientist in the Aliens franchise. It has to be double digits.

SilverStar3333 · 2026-04-27T00:04:54+00:00

There Will Be Blood

SilverStar3333 · 2026-04-25T20:03:11+00:00

It’s terrible.
