I HATE: Those Blue Collar Comedy guys, Adam Sandler movies, Indian food, when a stranger on a bus/airport/etc. volunteers the most intimate details of their life and all you can do is stare and nod and it's really awkward, morning wood, the crap they're passing off as punk music nowadays, uncomfortable silences, who set their MySpace page to private, children...yuck.

Favorite authors include Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Kafka, Hesse, Michael Chabon, and David Sedaris, among others. I plan on reading some Faulkner once I finish my current book (Cloudstreet) sometime in the next year. I love to get lost in a good book, provided I have the discipline to set aside the time. If you've read something that you believe is worth recommending that would be great, just so long as it isn't Dan Brown (I hate to sound elitist, but I'm going to. Those books suck.) or the kinds of utterly generic fantasy/sci-fi books one typically finds in the sci-fi section of a bookstore.
