Working my way further through Jeffry Lindsay's "Dexter" series. The TV arc and book arc bifurcated somewhere toward the end of book one. They are alike, however, in that they both started interestingly and gradually lost steam. "Dexter in the Dark" is pretty awful, actually. And can't say that I care much for the way character development deals with Rita's children.
These books were entertaining enough for light summer reading, but seem a bit silly now that the fall is here. One of my big regrets about my attitude toward education when I was in school was the way I ignored summer reading lists. At the time I resented being dictated what to read when on vacation, but now I continually come up against holes in my cultural knowledge. I am thinking of filling those gaps over the next few years. I came upon
this list which might be a good place to start. I've read perhaps 25-30 of those listed, but there's a lot left still to be explored.
