Winter is Coming

Busy, busy, busy, but a little time for T.V.:
*Game of Thrones (Season 2) - Good thing this season comes with a map at the end, because I obviously should have spent the last several months re-watching Season 1. I wish it were on instant! I would watch it all over again, and again.
*Nurse Jackie (Season 4) - Rehab is boring, and you know the stats are stacked against her, but the unraveling is still worth watching.
*Simpsons (Season 24) - Hippies and school humor a few weeks ago made all the mediocre episodes worth watching.
*Bob's Burgers - An entire show about a toilet?! These writers clearly understand their target audience well. I don't love the new time, though.
*Good Wife - I catch this every now and then still, but I'm not following it as closely as I was, just turning it on from time to time to watch the beautiful people.
*Parks & Recreation - Still nothing too exciting.
*Project Runway - Now that we're down to the final 7, it's sort of more interesting, but they always cut the most interesting people early, so mostly I just keep watching it to have something mindless to tune out at the end of the week.
I read Unnamed this month for book club about a man whose compulsion to walk unravels his life. I enjoyed the meditation on the power of the body and the mystery of illness. Since then, I started and cannot put down We Need to Talk about Kevin. It's so good! I did not expect it to be so well written and such a thoughtful turn-pager.
