I was born a small white boy. I have grown up to be a big white boy, a geek, a nerd, a foodie, a raving liberal, a musician, an aspiring writer, a father and a grandfather, a soldier, a some-time singer, a gamer, a cab driver, a web designer, a lab tech, a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman, a short-order cook, a long-time college student, an idiot, a sage, a pendant...
I read, not as much as I'd like or probably should:
- Philip Roth
- Mark Twain
- Henry Miller
- Kurt Vonnegut
- John Steinbeck
- Ernest Hemingway
As you can see, my literary tastes are very American. I am unapologetic about it; I like what I like, but I am open to anything.
I listen to an awful lot of music (a lot of awful music, according to some):
- Thievery Corporation
- DJ Shadow
- Kruder & Dorfmeister
- Tosca
- Bebel Gilberto
- Björk
- Cassandra Wilson
- Air
- Koop
- Sufjan Stevens
- Iron & Wine
My music taste is far more cosmopolitan than my literary tastes.
