Books:

Currently reading: Herman Melville's Moby Dick

The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene is my bedtime reading and Dad's book on the history of U.S. involvement in the Middle East is my bathroom reading.

All time faves being:
Wittgenstein's - Tractatus and the Investigations, Tolstoy's - War and Peace, Sartre's - Being and Nothingness, Dostoevsky's - Notes From Underground, Crime and Punishment and Super Mario Bros. Karamazov, Heidegger's - Being and Time, The Iliad, Sophocles' Antigone, Euripides' Medea, Whitman's Out of the Cradle, Endlessly Rocking. King Dork by Dr. Frank is stellar as well.
