Movies:
There are so many. Some of the best nights are spent on the couch taking in a good flick. When it's comedy, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey. Then theres Ed Norton of course, and Robin Williams, Johnny Depp. I like almost everything with any of those guys... and of course the Kill Bills, The Great Escape (a classic,) and I'm sure there are plenty more I'm forgetting.
Books:
The Things They Carried, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Slaughterhouse 5, The Code of the Samurai
