Psychological entertainment

I very much liked Fight Club, but you have to watch it a few times.

I enjoy House, which is about a technical expert who thinks folks lie.

I recently caught Mental, which is the same. Also Lie to Me, again, same abstract theme. Experts who see through people.

And Bones is similar.

I also enjoy the Simpsons (which got me back into TV a few years after it came out; I had abstained for over a decade previously) and King of the Hill which is actually more sophisticated comedy.

I've most recently read Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin.
