Not looking! Not reading! Staying off this thread until I get to watch this week's episode...probably tomorrow evening.

TD related: I recently got a hammidown kindle from my brother, and the 1st book I purchased was Galveston.

Not trying to be a jerk, but is this one of those things that people say to supposedly be "cute" like people saying sammich instead of sandwich?

I am hoping one of Rust or Marty gets killed in the first 10 minutes of the episode shockingly, kind of "Departed" style.

I also don't see how it could end up with a Six Feet Under type ending but I hope it isn't a Sopranos ending either. Six Feet Under had the most satisfying ending of any show ever imo and managed to wrap up every loose end.

I posted a few pages back that I'm about 75% done with Galveston and it's pretty good.

The writing style is great and Nic really creates some great imagery. A lot of the imagery you read in Galveston you see in TD and if you didn't know it was the same writer you would probably guess it is during reading. It's not a crime mystery so it doesn't have the twists, turns, and convoluted plot that TD has. It's very dark and real. There's quite a few similarities in the characters in that they contemplate life and the meaning of it and where we belong in the grand scheme of things. Overall its a great book that's a quick read. I think if you like TD you'll like Galveston.

About halfway through Galveston and was thinking the same thing. Been an enjoyable read so far.

It's a funny, well-made/edited piece. Have a sense of humor. Or is that not allowed in the uber-serious True Detective thread? A thread I've been legitimately participating in since it started.

it is worth a few laughs and well edited. Definitely not a serious theory

If we could get back to discussing the show...

In my opinion, this is one of the pivotal moments of this season.

Not too be uber hipster, but I read Galveston like 1.5 yr ago. Esquire did their "Books to read in the summer" and this was one of them.
Been a Nic fan for a while and glad to see he is getting the credit he deserves. He used to work in Austin and they advertised locally hard when his book came out.

Got caught up to the thread. Is it possible to quote 2 different posts from different posters on different pages, a few pages back, in one post?

Best question I've ever articulated.

Also, don't know how to quote on here. Never works for me, even with that ****ty forum code "help"

^ Nice. Just bought.

Looks like the King in Yellow is free for the Kindle. Might as well grab that too. I like weird stuff.
