Television
DEADWOOD - brilliant over the top dialogue and acting.
Sigh, now it's so dead, the theme song is the muscial interlude on NPR.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - also wonderful. I only like shows that get canceled.
Guilty pleasures - previous (unwatched) seasons of 24 on DVD.
Of course, The Sopranos.
Books
Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. Fantastic.
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond - ditto.
Collapse by JD - not as fascinating - but good to read to anticipate what's about to happen.
Measuring the World/Die Vermessung der Welt - Daniel Kehlmann
Brilliant but funnier in the German.
