3. Books to read: Highly recommend the works of Sir P.G. Wodehouse. Fantastic British author; reading him has sort of fallen out of fashion, even in his own country, I am sad to say. Really good stuff and really funny. The humour can sometimes be a little difficult to get if you don't know the cultural references, but, as a lawyer, your research skills should easily help you overcome this difficulty. Some people may unnecessarily quible over a choice between the Geeves and Blandings Castle series, but that is time-wasting splitting of hairs in my opinion. The true reader of Wodehouse would appreciate both, which is why I advise you to dig into both; if you prefer one over the other, that's your business. If you're an audio book type of guy, two very good actors - Jonathan Cecil and Stephen Fry (yes, the same Stephen Fry, he who played the Master of Laketown in The Hobbit movie) - have read a lot of Wodehouse's books for Audible (but purchasing that stuff is really costly).
4. Show to watch: Yes Minister/Yes Prime Minister. Really good 1980's British comedy, show created by the BBC. You don't have to have lived there to be able to relate to it.
