It's because they're different I want to read them, I finished all four seasons but I wasn't really satisfied, I need another scenario for Dexter.
The first season IS in fact much better than the book!!
Now I'm reading Dearly Devoted Dexter and I'm also reading One Hundred Years of Solitude!

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" is my all-time favorite book, I think. I loved it so much. After that I read a lot of his other books- the second-hand bookstores in the area had nearly every one of them. "Love In The Time Of Cholera" was another really beautiful book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. My third fave book from him was " Of Love And Other Demons." It's kind of dark which is probably why it's so good. If you haven't read those you should check them out! Also, if you have any questions about other books by him feel free to ask.

I think we have "Love in the Time of Cholera" at our uni's library.. It's kinda the only source for something that was written in the 20th century and not only classics!
I'll check it out once I finish this one

About to start Cresendo - I hope its a good book.
Still trying to finish: Burned (should be titled bored) and Linger (which the story has lingered on too far)
I want to get The duff next but I'll have to order it from the states.

I just started with the third book, Dexter in the Dark.
Still reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, it's a lot confusing given that everyone names their child like their grandfather\mother.. It's really annoying!!

Algernon Blackwood was an excellent writer. I think "The Willows" and "The Wendigo" were awesome.
