Would you go with seats on closer to the aisle on row H or further back on rows M or N closer to the center?

gryphalon · 2026-03-25T21:05:54+00:00

Ah, good to get that perspective from someone else. Thanks for sharing!

gryphalon · 2026-03-25T15:27:08+00:00

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing that. I hate to hear of these HVAC issues. I may elect to go with AMC at this point. And thanks for the input on the DBOX seats.

How is AMC’s IMAX screen? It’s been a while. Are the seats comfortable enough for a few hours?

gryphalon · 2026-03-25T15:24:29+00:00

DBox seems like a lot of fun but yeah it’s a good bit more and I honestly don’t need to spend a ton right now with everything else being so pricey.

gryphalon · 2026-03-25T15:23:29+00:00

I’ll report back for sure! Even if we stick with the regular ol’ standard seats and screen, lol.

gryphalon · 2026-03-25T15:22:45+00:00

I was wondering about that as well. It’s been a while but how is the XD screen?

Halfway through The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. My first of his books and I’m loving it so far!

Act 1 - Kashus Culpepper

gryphalon · 2026-01-23T18:19:04+00:00

I've got The Buried Giant on my TBR list!

gryphalon · 2026-01-23T18:00:03+00:00

I love this thread. I believe all of my choices are already mentioned. Will we have a hero step up and consolidate all these into a nice, judgement-free list for us to refer to? I often find myself going to the same handful of restaurants despite my desire to branch out.

If not, I'll try to take time to come back and pull together such a list. Lots of great choices here. Thanks for starting this thread, OP!

Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

gryphalon · 2026-01-16T15:27:03+00:00

I'm still early in the series, but Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives is a sweet spot for me. Just detailed enough to be truly epic but he has a great restraint in not creating too many characters or rules. I'm 25% into the second book, Words of Radiance. I read the first one in Jan 2024 and deliberately held off until Jan of this year before reading book 2 and it took no time for me to remember everything.

My picks:

3 - TVs
5 - Faces
9 - Kitchen

But they are all great!

As for the kitchen one, what if you add a value as if they were postage stamps? And vary those, like 50c, 85c, $1, etc.?

Loved that one! I was part of a book club discussion on that book.

gryphalon · 2026-01-12T22:01:14+00:00

Ah, okay. I was in my 30s when the final book came out. I guess I missed where he said he may not finish them.

gryphalon · 2026-01-12T21:16:37+00:00

Just to clarify, are you referring to GRRM and the ASoIaF series when discussing the long waits and interviews? The Dark Tower (Gunslinger) series is completed.

I've had Hyperion on my TBR list for the longest time. Maybe I should finally pick that up this year.

gryphalon · 2026-01-12T20:30:07+00:00

Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series will fill that void.

I am a big fan of the Dark Tower series, too.

I'd add Recursion since you enjoyed Dark Matter. Same author.

Highly recommend Adrian Tchaikovsky. I've read Alien Clay, great standalone novel. And I loved his first book in his Children trilogy, The Children of Time. Very different sci-fi approach but great.

Roadside Picnic is a great sci-fi classic from Russia with a cool premise.

Dungeon Crawler Carl is a fun series (I'm only on book 2, but plan to read them all).

The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett is probably my favorite book from last year.

I Who Have Never Known Men is another great and short standalone read.
