Television:

The Wire is my favorite TV show of all time. I've been more interested in TV over the past few years than I ever was before. I really enjoy Arrested Development, Flight of the Conchords, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Rescue Me, The Riches, Lost, and Ninja Warrior.

Books:

I love reading. John Irving is an early favorite. I also like Mark Costello, David Foster Wallace, Charles Bukowski, James Ellroy, Frederick Exley, James Crumley, Haruki Murakami. I recently read Joan Didion's "The Year of Magical Thinking" and that blew me away.

Heroes:

is only an okay TV show, but a great David Bowie song.
