ranch dressing, jager, music, women, people with dignity and self respect. Movies, film in general, school and actually finishing school.
Too many to list.
Arrested Development, Futurama and anything on Discovery, History Channel and National Geographic.
The Stranger, some Anne Rice novels, Heart of Darkness, Brave New World and a few others--mostly classics. Robin Cook's medical thrillers are decent, also.
Nah.
