LOW CULTURE, HIGH CULTURE: CBS's "How I Met Your Mother" started strong and just keeps getting better.
Meanwhile, Time magazine's 100 best English-language novels since 1923 struck me as a nice list, mostly because of the inclusion of the obscure but remarkable "Revolutionary Road" and the Pottsville, Pa.-centric "Appointment in Samarra." The presence of some of my other favorites, such as "The Sun Also Rises," "The Catcher in the Rye," "Catch-22" and "Lord of the Flies," was more predictable.
Mark my words: Someday I'll read all them there books. But first I'll catch up on my TiVo backlog.
