The Rehearsal is everything I hoped it would be. I really don’t know how he thinks of all of this stuff. We watched episode 2 tonight and it’s crazy.

Genuinely think Nathan Fielder is a genius. If there ends up being a rounded arc to this show (which it seems like there will be) it'll be a slam dunk.
 
Now that I have free Hulu through my internet provider I have been watching The Bear. It's pretty great, but sometimes one episode is enough per night...so much yelling.

There are some pretty good docs on Hulu too. I watched the Kurt Vonnegut one and thought it was fantastic. Anyone else catch that?

I can recommend it for sure. The director (Robert Weide) had a great relationship with him, so it all felt natural and real. And it reminded me I have plenty of KV books I haven't read yet.

Like many folks Vonnegut is probably my favorite writer, his books are a breeze to read. I think I have 3 copies of Slaughterhouse 5 scatter about my home now. I have hardbound copies of Slaughterhouse, Cat’s Cradle, and Breakfast Of Champions. I would still love to add a decent hardcover of Mother Night at some point.

I highly recommend Only Murders in the Building. S1 was really good but S2 might even be better.

I've read seven or eight of his, so there plenty to choose from but I think Mother Night is next on my list. (War and Peace is currently taking up all my time.)

I can't remember if I've asked you already, but are you a Tom Robbins fan?

On our last Hulu trial my wife and I watched Murders and really enjoyed it. Martin Short was brilliant. Good to hear S2 holds up, I'm sure we'll watch that.

He's no Vonnegut but there is something there that reminds of him a bit. One of my favorite books of all time is
Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. I won't oversell, but if you ever are stumped for something fresh, give him a whirl.

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time, long time.

I adored Tom Robbins in my 20s. Whenever I think of writing a song, making music, etc. I try to remember what the main character (Amanda?) in Another Roadside Attraction said about art: basically, if there's something that doesn't exist in the world that you'd like to see, create it.
