I do not watch television anymore. If somebody sends me a documentary on DVD I will watch it. But, other than that I only watch films on airplanes. This undoubtedly cuts me off from my indigenous Obruni culture to a large extent. I do, however, read popular fiction written in the US. I like mysteries and crime novels and the big book store across the street has a much better selection of these types of books than any book store I have ever seen in the US. Lately, I have been reading a lot of Michael Connelly novels. I know it is not high literature, but I find it far more entertaining.
If you see something by Ian Rankin in your bookstore, don't pass by it. His detective/crime novels are pretty good.
