I got back into GoT in season 7 when the show switched from being character driven to the show being plot driven. I have friends who watched every episode and I have friends who stopped watching after 2 or 3 seasons because they felt "nothing every happens" on GoT. One week I noticed everyone was getting together to watch GoT and I felt left out. So I hopped back in.

There were rave reviews of Station Eleven the TV series, so I read the book first before watching.

They were weirdly both disappointing in different ways, and the book and TV series don't really sync up either. The TV series deviates a lot from the book, with some confusing decisions like >!changing and/or basically omitting lead characters, letting one character live and become a villain, and completely changing the ending!<

Of Mice and Men. I saw the Gary Sinease/John Malkovich movie and it blew me away. I read the book shortly afterward.

Game of Thrones. I read the first 2 books. Loved the show, but the books were dull, IMO. I got VERY bored with the lengthy descriptions of food and armies marching by, getting a play-by-play of every banner held by the men and hedge-knights. Gave up on it.

Dances With Wolves. Incredible movie, and it was VERY close to the book. I liked the movie ending a little better though.

Jurassic Park. Movie blew me a way. Then I read the book and it blew me away all over again.
