  7. Currently picked up on Ernest Cline's debut novel "Ready Player One" where I had left it (somewhere around page sixty out of nine-hundred and thirty eight.) So far there's been more depth, and biting socio-economic commentary than was afforded by its Hollywood counterpart, which on first view I found lacking.

  12. Had two experiences this last weekend with movies made from books.

    Saw #ProjectHailMary having read the book first, and read #ReadyPlayerOne having seen the movie first.

    I usually prefer the books, but these two really push the respective media.

    In both cases, I love the world building in the books, the details and nuance that sometimes gets lost in a movie (I felt Grace waking up was rushed and frantic in the movie), but both also benefit from amazing visuals (that I wouldn't think would work without feeling uncanny, e.g.. Rocky).

    In both cases, well worth watching/reading both if you're into that genre, but I would say you get more from reading PHM before watching the movie.

    RPO is varied enough that both are enjoyable trips into the universe.

  30. 📖 #ReadyPlayerOne by #ErnestCline

    One word. Exciting. Like a game :blobcatlaugh:.

    This was probably the fastest I've read a book, I just couldn't put it down. The story is incredibly thrilling, the world interesting and the characters unique.

    However, I didn't like the references to 80s and 90s (mostly American) pop culture. I get that it's a selling point for many, but I'm not American, nor did I exist in the 90s :blobcatgiggle2:.

    Anyhow, I would happily recommend the book to anyone.

  32. @orbitalmayo @Gjoel #wilwheaton does an excellent job of narrating audiobooks - my personal favorites are #ReadyPlayerOne and Two by #ErnestCline as well as Redshirts and The Kaiju Preservation Society by #johnscalzi. He really brings these books to life.
