Bullet Points Can't Stop Them!

• Want to catch up on all four seasons of The Wire? Now you can in a mere four minutes.
• Finally finished The Yiddish Policemen’s Union last night. Usual reading pattern: started it last year, read 50 pages, put it down for 4 months, and plowed through it in 3 days. Excellent book.
• And I’ve been hearing good things about Chabon’s new book, Gentlemen Of The Road, whose original title was awesome, I thought (Jews With Swords), but probably not practical.
• But I’ve started to read The Rider, so the next Chabon book will have to wait.
• The Rider is supplemental vitamins to get me to ride the bike in the basement everyday.
• I’ve been enjoying watching Brotherhood on the iPod whilst doing my hamster spins. Not as good as The Wire, but still good in its own way.
• This whole post is about reading books and watching TV…
• Even the title for the post is a reference to David Tennant’s Doctor Who (exclaiming that bullets can’t stop a werewolf – duh).

Watching Brotherhood?
We’ll have to talk about it when you’re done. I liked it more than I expected to.
I’m halfway through the first season of Dexter now and I have to say I’m really digging it. Between Brotherhood and Dexter, Showtime seems to be getting some good shows.

I am digging Brotherhood quite a bit, and I’ve heard good things about Dexter too. I’ll probably check it out next after I get through the first season of Brotherhood.

I’m watching Dexter now and REALLY liked the first few episodes. I’m only on episode 4 now but I think it’s starting to lose it’s novelty. I dunno, second disc is coming today so we’ll see if it picks back up for me or not.
Isn’t it funny how much Brotherhood tries to be The Sopranos? Even down to how it’s shot.
