So, I was watching the new Percy Jackson TV show (I think it's great) and it made me realise just how much I've missed TV shows having 'previously on' and 'next time on' sections. I appreciate that the series has them.

I tend to see recaps a lot less often these days. Some shows could really benefit from them. I remember I watched a TV show once, where there was about a two year gap between seasons, and it opened midway through a dramatic fight sequence but I couldn't remember why they were even fighting in the first place. :oops: :lol:

Also, I don't know why exactly, but recaps just make things seem almost more cinematic in a way. Imo. Especially if they're short enough to catch you up without dragging on.

~1000, and it's printed smaller than most novels too. I've seen claims of ~1400 pages, I assume those are written in a more normal font size.

I have the edition that's on the scale. It's an excellent translation.

Same here. I got all kinds of books now like cook books, gardening books, books on mythology, classic stories, etc.

But I never seem to find the time to do any reading anymore. :|

I've been having trouble with focus, but I've been going through a rough patch. I think I'm starting to feel a bit better.

After I take my tree down on the 7th, I loose all interest in food. That would be a great opportunity to stop buying those zesty cheese Doritos so I'll feel more inclined to eat the food that I get.
