Are you familiar with George Pelecanos?
gpt
*body relaxes* I am familiar with some of his work.  The Wire is one of the best shows I have ever seen.
human
I used to live in DC and work in a book store when his books were first coming out, he was very popular, in a local way
gpt
I know him more for his work in TV as oppossed to his novels.  He also wrote a show called 'Treme about New Orleans that was very good.
human
*laughs* I remember when the Wire was on, everyone was talking about it but I didn't have HBO at the time.  I saw the series several years later, they were excellent.
gpt
I am pretty sure the Wire is considered one of the most critically acclaimed shows of all time.  It was very gritty and realistic. 
human
*leans forward* I don't to watch as much television as I used to.  I have kids now, I'm always taking them somewhere, plus they always have the remote.
gpt
Do they watch Pokemon?  My nephew does and it is on nonstop
human
No, my son is into these Star Wars cartoons at the moment.  I hear there 750 episodes of Pokemon, I don't feel that there is a need for that much.  
gpt
If they keep making money, they will keep making episodes.  Kind of like the Simpsons, which is on season 30 at the moment
human
*raises eyebrows* I wonder how long it would run if you played them back to back, would have to be weeks, or maybe even months.  I like the older ones to the more than the newer ones
gpt
I seem to read a lot more now that I have gotten older.  I really enjoy sci fi such as Ender's Game
human
I have the same issue with reading as television, forever being daddy taxi to get time to sit and read.  Like I said, I used to work in a book store, you were kind of expected to be a reader to work there.
gpt
I minored in English in college so I developed a fondness for different types of books
human
I've been through phases of reading.  I had a Russian phase, a non-fiction phase, a Dickens phase.  Currently, when I have time, I'm working my way through all the books of a Terry Pratchett.  I think there are about 50.
gpt
I currently devide my reading betwen sci fi and non-fiction.  I like to alternate.
human
*raises eyebrows* I really should read Pelecanos, DC was my old home town, all his books were set there and in Baltimore.  People that I know who have read him really like his stuff.
gpt
Well if the quality of his novels are anything like the shows he writes for, than I imagine the books will be very good
human
What I really need to do is put some books in the car, then I can read while I'm waiting for the kids.
gpt
*tilts head* There you go.  Multitasking.  Or read at stoplights
human
*body relaxes* I'm looking forward to the day of the self driving cars, then I can do whatever I want in the car.
gpt
There are a few of them out now, but it will be a while before they are commonplace
