Television:
Netflicks, and its ability to watch TV programs commercial free on DVD, has completely ruined even the small ability I had to watch current TV. I'm a fan of Arrested Development, possibly the best TV show ever and every now and then I will re-watch Firefly because it was just that damn good. And I am so far behind on Heroes - don't even talk to me about it until I catch up.
Books:
Atlas Shrugged, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Scarlet Letter, The Red Tent, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and a wide variety of science fiction including Ender's Game. Bookshelves are taking over my home. I have one dining room table, one couch, and eight bookcases.
