Books:
I enjoy reading on a wide variety of subjects. I typically lean towards non-fiction with a political, philosophical, scientific and/or skeptical perspective. I am currently reading "Thus Spake Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche and "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton. I also frequently read magazines such as Skeptic, Reason and Skeptical Inquirer, among others.
Heroes:
I don't necessarily have any heroes, per se, but there are a lot of people I admire. Some of them are: Lenny Bruce, Paul Westerberg, Mike Ness, Kevin Smith, Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Larry David, Henry Rollins, James Randi, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Haggis, George Reisman, Michael Crichton and anyone who has made significant contributions to society through the arts, sciences and/or critical thinking.
