tristaanogre I think you might like the Dark Tower book series. You've mentioned Stranger Things which has a lot of Stephen King vibe to it also.
The books (there's 8 of them) get really dark and weird sometimes (that horror/Western/dark fantasy mix tho), but, oh well, I guess this is expected from Mr. King.
And, yes, the universe he managed to create is outstanding, quite an immersive experience.

Depends upon what you eat... I'm a little bit of a foodie myself, angling towards Mexican, Carribbean, and Indian cuisine... For that matter, the spicier the better... I grow my own chili peppers (Jalapeno, Cubanelle, Yellow Hungarian Wax, and habanero) and LOVE to make good sauces. Do you just eat or are you a cook as well?

"the spicier the better" - totally agree, tristaanogre! And what dish is a good dish without a good sauce?:smileywink:

I know, right? I mean, I don't sauce stuff to mask the inherent flavor (too much BBQ sauce on a steak is just bad) but I REALLY like having a dish that has that little something to enhance the flavor somewhere.
In my pantry, I have some homemade tobasco I made a year ago.... nicely aged. Also have about a quart of habanero hot sauce that i use for making hot wings and just for general dipping...

I'm just an Eater. I don't really cook unfortunately, though it is definitely something I will be looking into pretty soon!

Wow, this thread really took off! I am glad to see the input from tristaanogre and sonya_m. I was away at GenCon in Indianapolis, so I was a bit tied up helping my wife sell her artwork to reply, but I was tracking. I also highly recommend Stephen King, especially The Dark Tower series. Those are some of my favorite books. I can provide a whole list of a lot more if anyone ever needs any reading recommendations. ;) I have ~6+ bookshelves full!
Speaking of, as I mentioned in my first post, this love of reading hit me early and made me want to be an author one day. I've realized that dream and have had a few short stories published that are actually available on Amazon. I'm so geeked that you can go on Amazon and search "Matthew Siadak" and see books that have my stories in them! I'm also working on a novel. I already have it written (clocking in at 150,000 words!) but it needs a lot of polishing. My hopes is to eventually have a series. :)
