How are you fulfilling your patriotic duty to consume ad nauseam?

Right now I'm watching Person of Interest (a season behind) and reading Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist.

I'm quite enjoying Person of Interest. It has enough meditation on AI/privacy/surveillance/future stuff to keep it from being just another crime drama, but not so much that it becomes overly polemical or caught up in navel-gazing.

Eureka is some light history/philosophy of science from one of my favorite science bloggers, Chad Orzel. I'm a big fan of his writing, because he goes to great pains not to sacrifice accuracy for narrative, and he's also pretty self-aware.

What about the good folks of Apolyton?

Just got through Game of Thrones season 2 again. Might start watching the second season of Twin Peaks.

Reading a combination of about 3 WWI/WWII books I got for Christmas.

I am flying/driving to an from various company meetings where I will pontificate for a few minutes and then buy copious amounts of food and drink.

I find I don't seem to consume all that much. I just seem to work and pay taxes to support the rest of you dead beats.

You're only saying that because this is a thread about media consumption and not food consumption.

I probably paid more taxes than you earned

i'm currently reading all history stuff, acquired second hand and very inexpensively near caricoa metrô station.

the war of the roses - by desmond seward: as the name suggests a history of the war of the roses, told partly through the eyes of five characters from the time. it's alright, not great though.

os arménios - by sirarpie der neressian: a history of armenia from ancient to early modern times, including large sections on architecture and art. it's a translation from an english original and very interesting.

la societé français depuis cent ans: quelques salons du second empire - by victor du bled: a book, written in 1923, which looks at french society at that time. i've only just started it, but it looks promising so far.

You make three times what I do, you damn 1%er.

To be fair to pchang, you're the one that boasts more about your job than he does...

Of course, I've been known to boast about my job too: the 10 minute commute; the massive amount of holidays I get; that I only work part-time...

I just finished the whole series that Leviathan Wakes is a part of. Do you read it in English or have they translated it to Greek?
