Huge fan of Red Dwarf got me to read the books. Lots of big differences, one of which is where they find a derelict ship with Faster than Light and a copy of Better Than Life. So they all decide to enter the game while the FTL takes months to get back to earth, only they get trapped in the game and dont know it. Everyone's BTL fantasy was great, but the Cat was hilarious.

>!The Cat's fantasy has him living in a massive castle, with a moat made of milk. Stationed all through out the castle are half naked valkyrie warriors. In the back yard, he's playing polo, except hes riding on dinosaurs and a dog is the ball. While everyone eventually realizes they're stuck in the game, Cat is the only one that doesn't, he thinks he just deserves all this and asks no questions. !<

Watched Game of Thrones 1-6 and then went and read the books. The save the Expanse Reddit campaign didn’t get me to watch the show but it did get me to read the books and it might be my favourite book series ever now.

Daisy Jones & The Six

ETA: I picked up the book 2 weeks ago after watching the first 3 episodes. I finished it last night. TBH I don't know if the book was all that great. It's good beach read I guess. I'm more in love with show.

I haven't read it yet but I will be reading Station Eleven. I know the book and the show are different but if I like the book even half as much as I loved the miniseries then I'm in for a treat.

The Terror. The book is pretty good. One change the tv series made from the book that I really liked.

It isn't out yet, but Three Body Problem trilogy. Read it due to the upcoming Netflix series.

If you like science fiction it lives up to the hype. That said, I was tepid on the ending.

The Sandman show finally made me bite the bullet and buy the comics. It's been on my to-read list as a Neil Gaiman fan but I have putting it on hold due as I found it intimidating due to the number of issues involved. Buying the comics was the right decision. I am now excited for season 2 and hope they find a way to include the many short stories aside from the main plot.
