basically. . . all Christmas movies, classics (casablanca, the apartment, etc), and chick flicks. sprinkled amongst those are harry potter, disney, dreamworks or pixar and a couple of random others (amelie and corrina, corrina, empire records, that thing you do)
Books:
I read anything by C.S. Lewis (that man has helped me when I needed to make sense of the world) or Oscar Wilde. Recently have taken an interest in Dostoevsky. Books I am currently working on: ~ "On Cooking: a textbook of culinary fundamentals" - (and classes full of mentals) this would be my big FAT text for my culinary classes. . . did i mention that it's the 2nd edition? ~ "The Bible" - i believe it was written by a superhumanspirit named GOD ;) please, don't get technical on me about that ~ "Miracles" by C.S. Lewis ~ "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan (not to be confused with Paul Bunyan) ~ "How to Read a Book" by Mortimer J. Adler & Charles Van Doren (dad got me this book for Christmas, i kid you not. . . it is actually about reading a book!) ~ "When Ye Fast" by Joy Haney (amazing little book about fasting, and one has to wonder why the protestant church doesn't mention fasting more often, 'cause it's AMAZING!) ~ "Crime & Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoevsky (this one's been on hold for a while)Favorite book (besides the Bible): "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by WildeI also enjoy the Harry Potter series, a little Virginia Woolfe, the occasional Henri Nouwen or Scott Peck, or what ever happens to drift across my path that looks interesting
Heroes:
Jesus. . . no, not mi amigo the dishwasher @ macrina
