American Tragedy 8%

Clyde is now settled at the fancy hotel.  He goes with the guys for a night of drinking that ends up at a brothel.  His religious background wars with his sensuality; not a clear victory for either.  He spends more money on himself, feels a desire for freedom from his parents in many ways--mentally, spiritually, physically--but can't quite sever the ties.

He sees his mother in a poor section of town inquiring about a room.  His mother asks him to help her raise $100.00.  Some mystery here--I think it has to do with his sister Esta who fled the household and who is probably now back, pregnant?, disgraced.

Excellent book

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
