ABOUT ME

I won't rest until every page in the back of my passport is covered with stamps.

PHILOSOPHY

You get this brief spark of consciousness, and then it's over. Make it worthwhile.

Music, Movies, and Books

Any songwriter who can write a thought-provoking or heart-melting line. I also like music that beckons me to ignore the voice of reason and feign dancing prowess.

Books/authors I didn't sell after reading include: Harper Lee, Jonathan Safran Foer, Bill Bryson, Steve Coll, Brady Udall, Jason Elliott, Chris Hedges, Cloud Atlas, Jon Krakauer, Richard Russo, Absurdistan, Jared Diamond, and Dave Eggers.
