Travel, history, movies, theatre, (English...) and trying to be one of the few people that still believes the Franco-American alliance didn't die with Lafayette...
Pretty much all music from Classic Rock, to classical Handel. As for artist, some favorites are The Doors, Led Zepplin, The Rolling Stones, Calogero, Chopin, and Mozart (Calogero is a French artists for those who are ignorant of our introverted, pop-music culture)
Don't get me started. All types and genres of movies from the beginning of cinema history till the present. That's all I have to say.
Histories, classics, and modern novels cram my shelves. A couple favorites: Les Pensées du Voltaire, Candide, L'Enfer, Oxford Histories of the Ancient World (yes...I know...I read it), Who Killed Chaucer?, The Constant Gardener, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, Angels and Deamons, The Club Dumas, L'Etranger, A Year in the Merde, Neither Here Nor There, and not to mention some Livres de Poche I couldn't give up.
