Oh, yes - this is such an outstanding programme, one that I miss when we are between series here in the UK. It has characters with whom one empathises naturally, good storylines, and positive education about US politics and civic society as it could be. When news of U.S. politics seems discouraging, you can always say "If only Jeb Bartlet was in the White House... ."
I love books, and Border Bookstores always draw me in to browse at will, to search for new books, to delight in the immense variety. I have my favorite Borders stores too - at Fosse Park, near Leicester, UK, which my partner and I use as a M1 stop, in Leeds, UK, my nearest, and Santa Monica, California, which we used to visit regularly en-route to and from New Zealand. I loved browsing the Santa Monica store, and would gather my new book heaps, give them to my partner, who sat outside in the sun, drinking coffee, while I returned to look at more books - bliss.
Arts & Letters Daily is such a wonderful web site - a vast collection of articles, reviews, links and stories. Every time you look at it, you know you'll find insightful, interesting news and opinions. And there's so much on it, you can never encompass it all. It may not look pretty or cool, but it's enticing, always.
