General

Anything worth doing. Life is too short to limit your options.

Music

Of course! Music hath sounds that charm the savage breast. My tastes are eclectic and run the gamut - anything except mumble rap.

Movies

Most genres especially: indie films, foreign films, classic films, screwball comedies, Errol Morris documentaries, Nick Park shorts, and yes, I'll admit I love sci-fi & horror films.

Television

I used to use it as a monitor for dvds, but streaming programming has come a long way, baby.

Books

I prefer to speak of authors rather than just list books.

P.G. Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Umberto Eco, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Italo Calvino, Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Fernando Pessoa, Jack Kerouac, Salman Rushdie, H.S. Thompson, Stephen Hawking, Philip K. Dick, Oscar Wilde, H.L. Mencken, Virginia Woolf, Edith Wharton... the usual suspects are among my favorite authors though I have many, many more.



W.H. Auden, Shakespeare, Alejandra Pizarnik, Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett, Pablo Neruda, e.e cummings... all the French surrealists are among my favorite poets.



The Confederacy of the Dunces, by a writer who committed suicide before publishing his one & only book, which is a satirical masterpiece.

I am always fascinated by: modern history, ancient history, mythology, philosophy, astronomy, psychology, neurology, biology and physics.

Heroes

Those who question the "common" wisdom despite the strong pull of the "popular" culture.

Those who dare to try against overwhelming odds.

Those who don't believe a thing is true just because they see it in print.

Those who think before they react.

Those who can see the gilding beneath the tarnish.

The few, the proud, the strong...


The man I love...
