@avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus You really should watch Better Off Ted. 

Do you want two guys in a van to pick you up and take you to the hospital?

Fist the one you're with?

And Halle Berry.

I am really glad this got a good review since I have been totally won over by Channing Tatum and was thinking this might be a good popcorn flick this summer. 

Wait, drugs are ok for therapy but the pharmaceutical industry are equivalent to drug-runners (in your earlier post)?  I'm confused.

I feel like Mark Ruffalo is a charisma vacuum. He seems so well-respected as an actor and I just don't get it.  He's the anti-Robert Downey, Jr.  Help me out, here.

Me too!  My guess is that because as females, it is really, really unusual for us to take our shirts off in public and to see guys do it can be a little unnerving.  It seems strange to me that I've seen many of my male friends with no shirts but none of them have seen me without mine.

If anything could possibly justify the incredible awfulness* of Dana's Dating Plan, it's this speech.

Debris is so freaking pathetic that I just can't stand the whole storyline. 

Doing something new is great advice.  And keep it cheap.  Explore a new section of your city.  Find a new museum (the crazier the better). Take a quick out of town trip to explore something you'd always meant to.  Start an exercise program.

Go cry to your Maumee about it!

Nixonland has gotten all sorts of praise in these parts.  I recently bought it and plan on picking it up after catching up on Tana French's Irish mysteries series.  Let us know how Before The Storm is!

I really enjoyed Destiny of the Republic but wish we would have gotten more Chester Arthur info - I just think that is a fascinating story of a weak man somehow gaining a moral backbone late in life.

@avclub-d1348cfe54a94fe6f986775cedd75fdd:disqus I don't know if that one is the most jarring because it was the first I read, but it stands out more than the others.  But Dumbledore is right about The Sign of Four, and The Valley of Fear also has another story inserted within the bigger story.  Only The Hound of the…

That would in fact be A Study in Scarlet.  Really that book is kind of crazy when you think about it.  It just kind of restarts in the middle to tell that crazy Mormon story that somehow Sherlock has all sorts of info on. 

I read Hound of the Baskervilles again on a recent travel.  If you haven't read any of the books, you might as well start at the beginning (A Study in Scarlet) since that has the actual introduction of Holmes as a character and his meeting with Watson.  After that I think the order doesn't matter.
