I know some people are sick of the mention of The Wire but thought I'd post the above

Er, no he hasn't
Simon only wrote the introduction he was reading from.
The book came out five years ago, so it only covers the first couple of seasons. It's fairly interesting but by no means essential, I've been told. Most Wireheads are probably already well aware of pretty much everything that's in it (that the guy who plays the Deacon was the real-life model for Avon Barksdale, etc.), since there are so many interviews, etc. on the Web.
Still, it's available second-hand on Amazon for only a couple of quid, so it might be worth a shot for the completist.
dollhouse
just watching the boxset of joss whedon's 'dollhouse'
good reviews but it's just no where near the wire standards(although i do love 'firefly' and there are some actors from the magnificent 'battlestar galactica') hopefully 'treme' will get a series commissioned
Reading
The Corner depressingly brilliant.
get some
'generation kill'
it's following 'tru blood' next wednesday on c4
ace
'the corner' is excellent
