books: Milan Kundera, D.F. Wallace, Rick Moody, Don Delilo, Raymond Carver, Junot Diaz, Vonnegut, George Saunders, Ray Bradbury ...and Harry Potter.

With regards to classics, I'm with Mark Twain: "A classic is something everybody wants to have read, but no one wants to read."

music: Radiohead, Mumford and Sons, Jack White, Phish, Pink Floyd, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Modest Mouse, Cake, Louis XIV, Bitter:Sweet, Portishead, Keller Williams, so many more, my brain can't think of that many more.

If I really feel like cooking later.

Maybe a little high. Or someone encouraged me to go out. Not mutually exclusive.

you have the confidence of a thousand suns.
