Movies
I enjoy a good movie - or sometimes a movie someone else might not think is so good. It's all relative, isn't it?
Here are a few I enjoyed, in no particular order....Casablanca, Last of the Mohicans, The Bourne Trilogy, Casino Royale, The Usual Suspects, Girl With the Pearl Earring, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Memento, Moonstruck, City of Angels, Shakespeare in Love, The English Patient....and like the music, the list goes on and on and on and ....well, you get the picture.
Television
Anderson Cooper 360, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, Lost, Dexter, The Mentalist, Brothers & Sisters, House, Raising the Bar, Leverage, Entourage
Books
I read far too much to put a comprehensive list here so for now, let's just start with a few things.
I think Anita Shreve writes like a painter. I love it when the prose is so incredible that you don't even realize you're reading.
Some Titles I've Really Enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha ~Arthur Golden The Mermaids Singing ~Lisa Carey In the Country of the Young ~Lisa Carey The Lovely Bones ~Alice Sebold The Secret Life of Bees ~Sue Monk Kidd Snow in August ~Pete Hamill Interred With Their Bones ~Jennifer Lee Carrell Born Standing Up ~Steve Martin
Most things written by Nick Hornby
Most things written by David Sedaris.
One of my all time favorite books is The Shadow of the Wind ~Carlos Ruiz Zafon
If you're looking for a really wonderful read - The Shadow of the Wind is it.
I can't end this section without a plug for my favorite Journalist's book either. I've read it more than once and I really enjoyed it. Dispatches from the Edge - A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival ~Anderson Cooper
That seems like a good start. Rarely will you ever catch me without something to read.
Ask me about books or tell me what you're reading.
Heroes
My Mom - She's an amazing woman.
People who are truly decent human beings.

I love music! I'm always listening to something. I can't imagine not having music around. I'm what most people might call a Book Worm. I consider that a compliment. Generally, I don't go anywhere without something to read. Face it folks, Reading is SEXY! ;)

I find it more difficult than I thought it might be to keep yammering about myself, so I'm going to cut this short and maybe change it up a little some other time.

I love meeting new people, so please, say hello and send me a message -- what's the worst thing that could happen? -- I can ignore you or decline you -- and really, would that be so horrible? You probably wouldn't even notice. ;)
I just wanted to send you a short note and say hello. I found out the other day that a couple of my poems will be published for the first time. They will be out this winter in an “Anthology” poetry book. It will be in major bookstores throughout the US and Amazon by the end of the year or the first part of 2009. I will let everyone know when it comes out.
It is the last day of September, enjoy it:) ~ Christopher
