Jeopardy, Arrested Development, the Simpsons, Greys' Anatomy but then I don't have a TV so these are just the shows I wish I was watching. And I also don't have the attention span to watch them. Plus, TVs give off this strange high-pitched hum that makes me think that alien invasion is imminent, not to mention that they give me brain cancer. But I do think that Eva Longoria is sexy. And, I make special television watching exceptions for the Olympics and the World Cup. I'll take brain cancer to be able to watch those.

Catcher in the Rye, Into Thin Air, White Noise, The Farming of Bones, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Gabriela Cravo e Canela, Always Running, Everything is Illuminated, Pride & Prejudice, books written by sketchy womanizing urban planners/professors
