Been on a hard-core non-fiction kick the last few years - mainly technical history, mid-century design, music biographies/histories, paleontology.

Fiction-wise, i will buy/read anything by Elmore Leonard, William Gibson, and Tom Wolfe (odd combination of the three).

After seeing 'The Incredibles,' i've been reading Marvel Comics from the Silver Age - Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Avengers - and Ian Fleming's James Bonds.

i'm a newspaper/magazine junkie - i read at least two daily papers, Wired, Blender, the New Musical Express, American History of Invention and Technology, Juxtapoz, Barracuda, Dwell, Metropolis, Metroplolitan Home, Atomic Ranch, National Geographic, and whatever i pick up.


The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that in 2003 the average American watched TV for 2.5 hours a day and read for 22 minutes.
