Nice people. We covered that, right? I also enjoy members of the non-elitist indie set and gamers who don't smell weird.Also, cool people in the Dallas area, as I moved here recently and don't really know anyone except the wonderful guy I just married.

I dig David Sedaris books and other humorists (i.e. Augusten Burroughs). I also got pretty addicted to the Tales of the City series, though Maupin's other books didn't really hold my attention. I read The Sandman graphic novels over and over again. Right now I'm reading Jenna Jameson's autobiography.
