Once again, this is an area that I am planning on developing when I get a chance. Until then....

The world's GREATEST radio station:

KEXP (Seattle)
[John in the Morning is just plain great!]

In my cd player:

• Beth Orton
• Björk
• Coldplay
• Bob Dylan
• The Jayhawks
• Morphine
• Radiohead
• The Roots
• The Streets
• U2
• Uncle Tupelo
• Wilco

...and many others.

 

 

Recent films that I would recommend:

About Schmidt

Adaptation

Gangs of New York

Igby Goes Down

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Punch Drunk Love

Books:

I have been reading a ton of school-related books, so my fiction picks are rather weak. I spent last winterbreak re-reading the Lord of the Rings series. I did read a Lemony Snickett book, which was a bit of fun.

If I ever get a chance, I really want to get back to reading Rushdie and, well, too many other authors to list. Sacrificing pleasure reading is one of the worst things about grad school.
