The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood
David SimonNick Riccardi@benthomases I think David Simon has said The Wire is a show that romanticizes the whole cops/dealers world, because he tried to show the reality w The Corner and it was just too bleak for people to watch on tv. I presume that given his background Simon knew about those kind of cops too.

Boy, Snow, Bird
Helen OyeyemiNick RiccardiI highly recommend Boy, Snow, Bird by Oyeyemi but do not read the spoiler-laden blurb on the back of the paperback. Need a reprint w/out the plot summary sitting there that spoils the reveal that comes 100+ pages in a 300-page book.
