I finished The Haunting of Hill House. Its not bad and its not great. In 1959 it probably was considered frightening but it just didn't have enough going on for me to agree with its reputation as one of the greatest haunted house novels ever. C+

I finished two Audiobooks The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and All Quiet on the Western Front. Hitchhikers was very good im into that type of British humor. All Quiet On the Western Front moved me in such a way that I feel changed by it. It's a pure masterpiece and should be something read and taught in school in my opinion.

Love Douglas Adams and the entirety of the Hitchhiker's Guide(films included). And All Quiet was required reading when I was in school, so probably a local thing.

Read it in school here too in Cali, thought it was great. Watched the movie in school too, I was the only one going "That's Bill from IT!", " And Loomis!", everybody else thought I was weird. Assholes.

I only caught the first season. The book was definitely better (and I'm not one of those that always preaches "the book is always better" bs)

The Shadow Glass. It's like a cross between The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, and the Masters of the Universe movie. Basically, puppets from an 80's puppet film come to life and the good puppets(gelfling stand-ins) team up with their creator's son to find the shadow glass(smaller version of the dark crystal) before the bad puppets(Gollum-looking version of skeksis) do(there are even versions of podlings and fizzgig). Sounds dumb, but it's decent. Comes off as more young adult than dark fantasy(the section I found it in), but I'm ok with that.

Been reading It this month. 4th time all the way through, got about 120 pages left. I didn't notice how much the new movies got a lot of little details worked in, I totally forgot about them while watching.
