Controversial, I guess, but I think the show Game of Thrones should've altered the ending of season 3 & just call it a day. Daenery could've been killed in episode 310, the Wall gets breached,, roll credits. Leave the proper story to the books.

I'm not from a country where Santa brings the presents on Christmas, so I obviously didn't believe in him, even though he was ubiquitous in the running television programs. I'm not sure what I believed in as a kid. In 2nd grade I somehow became an Atheist, & managed to stay like this, but I reckon 2nd grade is too old to believe in Santa-like creatures anyway.
One thing that I did believe as a kid: I have vivid memories of an older kid stealing my nose.
(BTW, Santa doesn't pay for gifts. He makes them by forced little people slave labour. All he has to pay is his humanity.)

Speaking of me! I didn't answer the previous question, but I'm not currently in a relationship anyway. With that said, the last time she approached me, which I think was a big mistake in retrospect. The question made me realise that whenever someone is more interested in me than me in them (not necessarily romantically), it's been only downhill from there. So I'll proceed accordingly in the future.
With this question I'm in a little trouble because I'm a bit of a linguist, but restricting it to English-language literature, I'm going to name The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. You might have heard about this novel via the Amazon TV show with the same title. Briefly: the book takes place in an alternative reality where the Axis defeated the Allies, & centres around a book that takes place in an alternative reality where the Allies defeated the Axis. What I like the most about it is its excellent world-building. From a certain point of view the novel lacks any non-diegetic element. Details about the world are revealed through natural sounding character dialogue & narration. The latter is obviously not really diegetic, but it kind of is: the narrator explains everything as if the reader lived in the alternative reality. By the middle of chapter 2 I was completely blown away, & it was just getting better & better. (Another thing worth mentioning, I guess, is that it's a real old-school sci-fi story, so instead of empty fireworks, Dick actually delivers a message, in this case about storytelling itself.)

It's not like no one else here knows these countries, but I doubt many are aware of the fact that Dominica & the Dominican Republic are two unrelated sovereign states. They aren't even on the same island!
