Reading, writing, water (anything in water that isn't cold), scuba diving (although I don't get to do this EVER and it should be included in the water category), snorkeling (it's cheaper), hoarding, star gazing by not using my telescope, traveling, piano bars, art, serial killers, participating in pensive behavior, architecture, dogs, live music, procrastinating, Williams syndrome and other obscure disorders and diseases, cults, collecting instruments (steel drum, harmonicas, et al.) and taking some of them apart (guitar, keyboard), studying personality disorders and completely misdiagnosing people around me with such.

This varies from the silent era to present day. I am a movie snob but this is not to be rebellious or difficult. It all started when AMC would give great commentaries before and after the movies they would show. Now the channel is awful and TCM fills the void. "Gone With the Wind" was first, then "Casablanca." When I was in 9th grade (thanks, Mrs. Dortch), I watched Franco Zeferreli's 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet." It's not my favorite Shakespeare play, but the story is a perfect transfer to the screen. In other words, if you want to cheat and not read the play, this is the film to watch. More importantly, the cinematography and direction are remarakable. I got into the French New Wave, Italian New Wave, and Italian Neorealism a few years ago. It sounds like a pretentious mouthful but it's really interesting. Here's a sample from Godard:
Although, I am fond of "The Face on the Milk Carton" starring the beloved Kellie Martin. But, why did she hide the milk carton from her "parents" for so long? Tracey Gold films involving the subject of anorexia or ADD are fantabulous, too.
Okay so I am no snob about this. I watch some pretty terrible tv. My favorites are Best Week Ever, The Soup, and Intervention.
My favorite so far is still The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. His wife Zelda has an interesting background - plus she was from Alabama.
One of the reasons that I like the Downtown Pub:
Other mentionables: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, A Farewell to Arms, The Grapes of Wrath, Delta of Venus, A Clockwork Orange, Deepstep Come Shining, The Awakening.
I would've been happy to have never read Jane Eyre or Walden. Both lists go on.
