Nuts for Silver Screen Movies. The Godfather Trilogy. Film Noir. The Matrix Trilogy, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan, unless he's played by Ben Affleck! Period Pictures- LA Confidential, Chinatown . Master and Commander. The World's Fastest Indian, On Any Sunday, The Wild One. Harry Potter, Pirates of The Caribbean. Miller's Crossing, O' Brother Where Art Thou. Tons more.
History Channel is big-it covers a lot more than WWII. Like a lot of the history of gadgets, architecture. Also like Sci Fi-Galactica, Journeyman. Mad Men, The Tudors, Lost, House, Desperate Housewives. Short spells of Fox/Cnn News-because it's all bad anyway! Band of Brothers Miniseries, Rome miniseries. Like old wacky British Comedy as well.
Ayn Rand's Two Classics-The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, anything about History. I recently read "Flyboys", and "Six Frigates", the latter of which is about the founding of the U.S. Navy and the first six frigates built for it. Also read "The Reagan Diaries", which is a fascinating personal glimpse at domestic and foreign affairs in the 80s. Tom Clancy or Patrick Robinson Books. LOVE Nelson Demille, especially books featuring the character John Corey-recently read "Wildfire",-excellent. Detective Novels are great. I really enjoy the whole Aubrey/Maturin series of books-Master and Commander, Et Cetera. Also liked Jane Eyre, a fair number of 19th century classics. Also Economics if it's written by Milton Friedman-he's quite a witty writer-communicates the ideas well and interestingly, also Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson-excellent non-textbook stuff, or Hayek's Road to Serfdom-courageous thinkers who were ahead of their time and willing to go against the grain of what all the "smart people" were saying at the time and who've been proven right! Overall, I just love to read though. The world is an interesting place!
