Favorite TV Shows: LOST
TV's most philosophical entertainment--or most entertaining work of philosophy--piled on plot curlicues like the toppings on an oversize novelty sundae. Maddening as its mystery could be (O.K., so the smoke monster was set up by the Others who live by the four-toed statue and--hang on, let me grab a pencil ...), great writing,tantalizing details and ever richer characters made it a yarn worth getting more deeply entangled
Favorite Movies: Dasvidaniya, Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Star Trek
Star Trek: This flick achieved a nearly impossible attention . It's a movie that is exegetically correct enough to appease the most hard-core buffs, while opening up the final frontier to a whole new generation of fans who have yet to appreciate Star Trek's ineffable combination of sci-fi action, campy humor and yin-yang philosophical tussle between logic and emotion.
Favorite Books: War and Peace
This Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece is so enormous even the author said it couldn't be described as a novel. But the characters of Andrei, Pierre and Natasha – and the tragic and unexpected way their lives intersect – grip you for all 1000 +pages.
Favorite Quote: "Some people never find it, some only pretend, but I just want to live happily ever after every now and then."
