First Love; Difficult Men

"First Love" by Joyce Carol Oates was a regrettably forgettable novella about a young girl being sexually abused by her uncle. I was in the mood for some gothic-y horror after reading the Susan Hill novella, but this wasn't really what I was after.

"Difficult Men" by Brett Martin was a fun look at the so-called "third golden age of television", starting with the "Sopranos" in the late 1990s, that spawned such great shows like "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad", and "The Wire". It was interesting to see the different writing styles of the different creators of these shows and how they came into being.
