Music, Movies, and Books

Recently I've enjoyed reading Solitude by Robert Kull, The Omnivores Dilemma by Michael Pollan, Palestine by Joe Sacco, A Man Without a Country by Kurt Vonegut, and One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey.

I'm interested in all kinds of movies. I love the films of Akira Kurosawa, Werner Herzog, and Errol Morris. I love the Up series, a must see if you haven't.

I like all kinds of music. Some of my favorite bands include Animal Collective and M Ward. Recently, I've been listening to Andrew Bird, Wilco, The Dirty Projectors, Wye Oak, Beach House; Too much to list here
