Books: Everything is Illuminated. The Grapes of Wrath. I absolutely
loved The Road, but just can't get into Cormac McCarthy's other
stuff, I don't know why (No Country for Old Men was decent). Some
graphic novels like The Walking Dead, The Sandman, Watchmen. I did
love the Harry Potter books as well. I finally read A Song of Ice
and Fire, which was pretty amazing. Most recently read: The Forever
War. I don't read as much as I used to, however...ever since I
bought the NYTimes crossword puzzle for my phone.
Movies: So many I can barely remember them all. I love movies and
could literally (or hyperbolic-ally?) watch them constantly. Pan's
Labyrinth, Eternal Sunshine, Children of Men, I dig the Star Wars
movies, Rian Johnson movies are great, as are most Cohen Brothers
movies. So many.
TV Shows: Shows that currently air...Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones,
Boardwalk Empire, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, Daily Show and Colbert
Report, Community, Futurama, Archer, It's Always Sunny, Louie. I
would put an RIP section for shows we've lost, but there would be
too many to name.
Best Musical - Les Miserables (I felt that the movie was very good
with some nitpicks, but it still could've been much better.),
although I really want to see Book of Mormon.
Best Play - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead...or Waiting for
Godot.
Music: Loudon Wainwright III and Tom Waits are my top two. I love
folk and folk rock, Irish rock, etc. I also dig comedy groups, like
FotC and Garfunkel and Oates. I want to front a Josh Lederman y Los
Diablos cover band, but mostly because everyone would think that
I'm the one who wrote the awesome songs, because nobody has ever
heard of them.
Best song is probably Come on up to the House by Tom Waits
Best Album is probably Mule Variations, again by Tom Waits.
