 |  The Blind Side: Evolution of a Gameby Michael Lewis I just finished this and I'm here to tell you that it is possibly the most charming book ever written, with Lewis marvelling and amused at one amazing incident after another. It's a fable about people transcending every part of the normal social order in this way that's thrilling and funny and only incidentally about football. |
 |  The WireLike Friday Night Lights, The Wire is almost like a documentary, but with more dramatic depth and more complicated story arcs. |
 |  Strong Bad Sings And Other Type HitsIf you are one of the six people left in America who doesn't already know about homestarrunner.com, this is the CD of songs sung by the Homestar Runner characters, and what's remarkable about it is the sheer virtuosity of writing and performance. Pure pleasure and nerve by people who really love music. Special favorites on this CD: "Sensitive to Bees" and "Cheat Is Not Dead." If I live to be a hundred, I'll never write and perform anything in any medium as great as "Cheat Is Not Dead," a song made even better by the fact that it seems like they just knocked it out in an afternoon. |
