Malcolm Gladwell, Jeffrey Eugenides, Jhumpa Lahari, Janet Fitch,
David Sedaris, Jon Krakauer, etc. I also enjoy reading
engrish.com.
I get my news from CNN, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and
Weather.com. I rarely watch TV, but when I do... I love Law and
Order SVU (but I am too scared to watch it by myself) and South
Park (do you know what I am saying?
#buttersbottombitchisthebestepisodeever). I have a love/hate
relationship with The Killing and I'll admit I skipped season 2 and
just googled to find out who killed Rosie Larson. Oh yeah, can't
forget 16 and Preggars.
The Shins, Tegan and Sara, The Weepies, Andrew Bird, Belle and
Sebastian, The Format (rip), Badly Drawn Boy, Bright Eyes (on emo
days), Regina Spektor, Missy Higgins, some top 40 crap, some
country music (so sue me), and any music I can dance to.
My two favorite cuisines are probably Thai and Vietnamese. I can't
think of a cuisine that I don't like, although I'm not crazy about
fish (I know, fish is not a cuisine).
