So many bands, so little time... At the moment, I love (in no particular order): Wilco, Josh Rouse, John Hiatt, James Taylor, Citizen Cope, Josh Ritter, David Gray, Lyle Lovett, The Jayhawks, BNL, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell, The Mavericks, Bruce Hornsby, Marc Broussard, The Damnwells, Nanci Griffith, Big & Rich, and more.
Young Frankenstein has got to be one of the best movies of all time. Some of the best movie lines ever come from Mel - Blazing Saddles and The original Producers are some of the funniest. Groundhogs Day. You can't beat Godfather 1 & 2 - absolutely brilliant. The original 3 Star Wars movies and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Singing in the Rain and West Side Story. The Princess Bride - Inconceivably great! Lost in Translation. Johnny Depp in Chocolat.
I admit it, I have lowbrow taste in television - enjoy Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway, Amazing Race, House and others.
Favorites: The Bean Tree by Barbara Kingsolver, The World According to Garp by John Irving, Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safer Foer, Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner, His Dark Materials (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and the Amber Spyglass) by Philip Pullman
