At the risk of sounding cliched, I don't have many boundaries when it comes to music, with possibly the exception of trance, most pop (you have to like a little pop when you have a nine year old in your life), and bad country music.

Horror (just because I want to size up my competition), anything Kevin Smith, and nothing with a story that falls apart midway or makes me regret (more so than usual) having just dropped $40 to see it.

Nothing mainstream, but things that keep me thinking, guessing, informed, and exposed to new schools of thought and perspective. Obviously, this excludes reality TV (what a crock!). DEXTER and WEEDS are tied for first on my favorites list.

Well, this a tough one. I've got more favorite books than most people have favorite songs. A brief lineup would include, but not limited to, the following:, -Joyce Carol Oates -Douglas Adams, -Stephen King -Bronte Sisters, -Greg Bear -Gabriel Garcia Marquez, -Edith Wharton -Flannery O'connor, -Jane Austen -H.P. Lovecraft, -Chuck Palahniuk -James Joyce, -William S. Burroughs -Rudyard Kipling, -Peter Straub -Edgar Allen Poe, -Johnathan Swift -Ann Rice, -Piers Anthony, And some single titles include Life of Pi, God's Debris, Confederacy of Dunces, just to name a few...
