Been thinking lately about the irony of the fact that I love watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations where he travels all around the world and tastes the local foods of the cultures, while I work and eat my lunch from home, usually consisting of microwave meals, mac and cheese out of a box, or something like that.
Books:
I have all of L Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz series. I have read most of the other books in the Oz series by various authors. Recently finished Paradox in Oz. After seeing a documentary about the making of Star Wars, I discovered Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces. I finished reading it and am interested in reading more from Campbell. I've recently read Setting Up Your Shots: Great Camera Moves Every Filmmaker Should Know, Action Philosophers! Giant Sized Thing Vol. 1, and Cinematic Storytelling: The 100 Most Powerful Film Conventions Every Filmmaker Must Know. I've also recently finished Philosophers Without Gods: Meditations on Atheism and the Secular Life, which I highly recommend. I'm currently spending my time reading Suze Orman's The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke with my wife and Monster: Living Off the Big Screen.
Plays--
I've recently read Butterflies Are Free and A Thousand Clowns both plays I want to direct someday. And in preparation for auditions I've read the script for Arsenic and Old Lace and The Mousetrap.
