Well-rounded people. A fighter, a lover, a thinker, a partier. All rolled into one. Someone who can discuss the latest in building materials, small arms, the mystery of Kaspar Hauser, the parallels between T.Rex and one's own whisky consumption, the dichotomy of self-interest and 21st century living, bukkake porn, Faulkner, and cocaine.

How come everyone pretends they don't watch TV? Are you really against it on moral grounds? Is watching TV really worse than drinking yourself into oblivion twice a week? I find it's a cheaper way to shut down my brain than, say, pot, or cheap, meaningless sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Anything by Jonathan Lethem, Desmond Morris (hee), William Faulkner, or Terry Pratchett.
