Books and movies
Well, technically television. I worked my way through the first season of Damages on Netflix. Sometimes productions like that are really good, really well made but I can't decide if I like it. With the Advent of Netflix I seldom watch anything on the TV in its first season. Having made the decision I've got so much back fill that I never lack for watching material, only time. So I could dump Damages after season 1 and have plenty to keep me occupied. But it may be a little like dark, dramatic crack. I'm halfway through the first episode of season 2 and still not sure if I'm interested. Wonderful and well used cast. As opposed to Harry's Law which has a wonderful and wasted cast.
Finished Call for The Dead, the first George Smiley book. Smiley is in 8 Le Carre books and I had never been able to finish one. Thanks to my sister I downloaded Call for The Dead and listened to it. I'm tired of NPR and most of the news so I'm taking a break. This was a drift back to the cold war era that I remember and an England that I don't. It was good but, again, I can't decide if I really liked it. Great use of a good cast.
