I build each one of my days out of hope and I give that hope your name.

The Holy Bible - I just finished it for the first time (I plan on reading different versions for many years to come) - it's such a beautiful book! The History of the American Cinema series - it's a 10 part (so far; I'm sure more to follow as the decades roll out) series on where American cinema has come from and gone since the late 1890's when it first arrived on the scene, A Tale of Two Cities - Dickens, The Sportswriter - Ford, White Noise - DeLillo, Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters and Seymour - Salinger, Lafcadio - Silverstein, Wuthering Heights -Bronte, Men, Women and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film - Clover, Almost anything by Stephen King (although some of his recent work has left much to be desired). The list goes on and on. I love reading almost as much as I do film.
