Books:

I haven't been reading much lately, which is sad. Top three - House of Leaves, Lolita, Pride and Prejudice. Also - Cookbooks because I like the pictures. Nonfiction about serial killers/forensics/psychological things. And I like Lee Child's books, because Jack Reacher is badass.

Heroes:

Lennie Briscoe (my cat, but the character rocks, too)
