This one is a little different in that you can read it as a standalone perfectly fine. I really liked it and have not and don't plan to read the sequel. This one is really good though.

Still thinking about re-watching Season 4 before 5 comes out. My rankings:

S1
S4
S3
S2

I could see a case for Season 4 as the best, but 1 was just such a masterpiece. Murray is one of my favorite minor characters.

I wasn't a huge fan of this one, but A Farewell to Arms is excellent.

Went again with my daughter on Sunday. It is kind of weird that they have the music playing while the guys tee off, but it was a fun atmosphere. Big crowds both days. Watching Rahm and Bryson outdrive Oosthuizen by a mile in their threesome was pretty entertaining.

Went with the family today. It was nice to have an event like this without having to drive into Detroit. Fun time.

Kill Creek is a pretty good one. A Winter Haunting is also really good.

That's a pretty good list. I like "The Secret" too. Would have had that on there somewhere.

Some favorites:

The Troop - good body/gross horror
The Beautiful Thing that Awaits Us All - modern cosmic horror short stories
The Strain - vampires
The Ruins - nature is scary
Bird Box - apocalyptic
The Silence - more evil nature
The Hunger - historical horror
Nocturnal by Scott Sigler - underground dwellers
Tales from the Gas Station - hilarious horror
Parasite by Darcy Coates - parasites

I saw them last November. They still put on a great show for some old guys (like this old fan).

The Princess Bride. The movie is a lot better.

I finished the exam at 41, transitioning from law to CPA. I liked Ninja and YouTube videos. There's a lot of jobs and decent money in public accounting, and many of them are remote. It's certainly better than working at a law firm.
