I used to be a huge bookworm, but oddly enough I don't seem to have as much time available for reading for fun anymore. Hmmmmmm, can't think why.....

I'm a huge Stephen King fan for my popcorn books. Love his development of characters. Also love that he's one of few authors really pushing to keep the short story alive.

I've read most of the classics; the [censored] that appears on college reading lists.

The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books - also amazing for basically any pop essay test ever. I'm a Brave New World fan over 1984 (I feel that Orwell said everything he said in 1984 in Animal Farm, but better). But We leaves them both in the dust.

Dostoevsky > Tolstoy but both good. I like Virginia Woolf, but not so much in particular Mrs. Dalloway. A Room of One's Own is a fabulous piece of work and I think it should be read by all women.

Hemingway is the man.

Really - I've read so much it's better to ask me about specific books and authors. I'm behind on recent works of course, and may not remember some details, though as it's been a while since I've read anything other than a textbook.

Drink.

Re: Ask the losers why they are so loserish and lost thread
 

What sort of music do you listen to? Elliott Smith, Cold War Kids, Tool, Radiohead, any of those? Tom Waits, Modest Mouse?

What do you do for fun besides drink? Do you own a vibrator? (obligatory)

Patrik Antonius is hott, but overrated. I prefer someone who isn't quite as pretty.

I'd really have to meet you to make a decision. So much depends on personality, context, etc.

I'm taking a Script Analysis class. It's a prereq for directing, which may not be offered in the spring anyway [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. But it is a good way to force myself to read more scripts and that's always awesome.

I dunno, theater is such a fickle thing. If you know people who go regularly, as them about productions they saw recently that they liked. I mean, the same show can be done in vastly different ways and I've seen some of my favorites completely butchered. It's kinda a numbers game. And at the end, if you still find shows you don't like, either heckle them in your head or with a friend later. A good percentage of conversations with theater friends consists of bad mouthing productions we've been in and have seen. We're bad people.
