Really hope this is the right place to post general topic daily questions

Audio or visual, comic or novel, anything you are currently reading!
Right now I'm listening to an audio book of Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton (read by William Roberts) and reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett.

I've heard it's way different! It is scarier too?

in some aspects, yes! however i cannot say for certain as the "scariness" hasn't fully started yet at the place i'm at in the book. one thing i like about the book is that the concept of "shining" is elaborated on and explained a lot better, whereas the movie leaves it pretty ambiguous. also the characters' backstories are fleshed out a lot more.

That already sounds really fun
