Something which occurred to me while reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter but which I forgot about when sharing my thoughts about the book was how stereotypical it was for Dexter to listen to/like/be implied as somewhat of a fan of Philip Glass. I remembered this while reading the second Dexter novel Dearly Devoted Dexter and he was mentioned listening to Glass again. If this was not apparently the only music that Dexter chooses to listen to on his own I could have let things slide but that is not the case at all. I will admit that I have never known anyone “normal” who listened to Philip Glass. I guess for the purposes of this argument I’m defining normal as someone who is boring, functions in society, and does not get in trouble or do particularly troublesome things. However precisely because no one who is normal listens to Philip Glass it is extremely unimaginative for Dexter to be a fan. This is my point. Oh well. The second novel is as engaging as the first if no less annoying. By the way I personally do not listen to Philip Glass but I will admit to playing Minesweeper other than to merely pass the time.
