Hello!

I have a few questions:

- What is your favourite book/series that you have written?

- Do you like "Queen?"

- What is your favourite TV show?

Hi,Dave,

Thanks for posting. I'll try to answer your questions.

I honestly have no favorite among my books, butI'm always the most "into" the new releases. So I guess my current "favorite" is HYPERGIFTED. And I admit to being very proud of the MASTERMINDS series, and really pleased with THE FORT, whch was my 100th book.

Do I like Queen? I do. I think they were the best rock band ever.

And my VERY favorite TV series was "The Sopranos." My favorite TV lately involves televised sports -- football and hockey especially.

OK? If there's anything else, you know where to find me -- right here!

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----

Sorry to butt in here for a moment...

Gord, what did you think of the ending of The Sopranos?

What other TV shows did/do you watch?

Hi, Darren,

The ending of The Sopranos was a disappointment, but not a huge one. I thought it was meant to be whatever the viewer decided it was -- either they were all dead, or they were still a family and the war was over and they would go on. And on, etc. I found out years later that the person who wrote it meant it to be what it looked like -- the whole family being wiped out. That didn't make me so happy. It's still the best thing that was ever on TV.

I also watched Breaking Bad, and thought it was really good. Also Fauda, which is an Israeli thriller, and REALLY special.

How's the world treating you lately? -G-

The Sopranos ending was quite divisive, but I did like it. Ambiguous endings are ok but oftentimes I feel like "you've told me the entire story up to this point, tell me the ending too."

Breaking Bad was also good. Fauda is a new one to me, I'll have to add that to the list.

Do you prefer watching dramas to comedies?

They are still working on restoring the office at my shop. I've had the work computer at home since last May which has it's good and bad points. I had a couple of major health events last year that I'm still working through. It has led to me engaging in more passive entertainment like television shows and movies over reading. I still need to pick up Hypergifted! I will be getting on that soon. I will have to take Raymond's idea of re-reading the first two books of the series to prepare myself for this one.

Hi, Darren,

For me it's comedy, and I've hated it lately because the comedy has been hard to find and terribly unfunny. When the best late night TV is coming from Greg Gutfeld at Fox News, it's time to regroup!

As you may have surmised, the thing I like best about watching TV is football. I'd gladly give up all drama and/or comedy for a longer season! And a better Giants team, of course. They get more depressing every year. --G--

I understand that fan frustration, although mine is with hockey and my Jets.

Just had to chime back in here after recently learning that Vince Gilligan was not a plotter and didn't even know what the ending of Breaking Bad was going to be. I thought that was interesting.
