Currently reading: The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Generally, I like reading about urban history, rock history, American history, baseball history, baseball stat geek-ery, and social commentary.
As far as fiction goes, I like Vonnegut, Revolutionary Road, No Country for Old Men, A Confederacy of Dunces and Bukowski. I don't read a lot of fiction, which I used to think was problematic, but really, I just prefer non-fiction, and you likes what you likes.
My sister, people who sacrifice for their art, people who make the best of the circumstances given to them, those who live in good humor, skeptics, optimists.
