I know you from Jim's Wire sessions anyway :). Haven't seen the Corner yet but do have it and am also reading the book - woo! I tell you that casting director is a genius. So, so good!

Pat Moran, who also cast all the John Waters movies, is a genius. As is Robert Chew who plays Prop Joe and was the acting coach to the 4 main kids from Season 4. Have you seen The Corner miniseries? It's exceptional. I think it's available on Amazon. Khandi Alexander is amazing in it. And look out for DeAndre McCullough who played Lamar in Season 3.

I found the books in Hodges Figgis, Dawson Street but nowhere else and boy if I didn't check every shop in town. The HF computer said they had two copies of The Corner so if you go in and ask the very nice girl who mans the desk down the back of the crime section she should be able to root it out for you. I found Homicide in the crime section but it was the only one there. I bet they'd order them in for you. I'm already well into the Corner and loving it. Don't know if you've seen all 5 seasons but if you have (cos there are a spoilers in this) David Simon wrote an interesting post on the Huffington Post <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-simon/the-wires-final-s_b_91926.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> about the final season.

Honoria, where did you buy those David Simon books, if y'don't mind me asking? I've looked in a few shops recently, but they all say that there's a new edition of Homocide coming out in September and that's the only one they've got on order. I need some sort of fix, maaaann..
