I just finished Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy and I read Gatsby
for the first time only a few weeks ago. I was an English major in
college and consequently, I've got too many "favorite books" to
list. Faulkner is probably one of my favorite authors,
though.
I think my favorite movie is probably Animal House. Mall Rats is
pretty far up there on my list, too. I'm also secretly terrified
I'm doomed to live out John Cusack's role in High Fidelity.
I love Mad Men—but then again, who doesn't? I can probably quote
most episodes of the Simpsons, seasons 1-12, from memory.
Musically speaking, I'm into a pretty wide variety of genres. I
used to play a lot of classical and jazz, so I'm with it if you can
talk Coltrane or Stravinsky. These days, I tend to gravitate
towards indie-pop, singer-songwriter, and Americana-tinged stuff.
