I only end up watching a few hours of tv per week, and since most of my favorite shows are long gone now, it's usually educational or documentaries. I love the Discovery Channel, Science Channel, History Channel and movies on IFC and Sundance. | | Books | Neil Gaiman is my favorite. I read anything that makes me think or looks interesting, and some stuff just for fun. I read a lot of non-fiction, science fiction, mysteries and horror. I read at least a book a week.
