Anything artistic - photography, writing, music, etc. Going to shows and concerts -- Lollapalooza, Coachella, Burning Man, Beastie Boys, Sade, etc. Travelling both in the U.S. and around the world. Having interesting conversations. Really anything involving family or friends is cool with me.
People who have substance and integrity -- after all if you don't have your word you don't have shit. I'd love to meet a girl who is grounded, has a good heart, and some creativity. Someone with intelligence (not necessarily degrees b/c that doesn't impress me) and the ability to be comfortable in ANY situation is someone I'd always like to meet.

I've enjoyed books by Agatha Christie, any Shakespeare, almost any Stephen King, Hemingway, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, and Jules Verne to give you a taste of my tastes.
