Favorite Books I adore everything Richard Feynman ever said, wrote, or performed on bongos; Carl Sagan had the soul of a poet; and Neil deGrasse Tyson makes me excited about life and its possibilities. That being said: "Still Life With Woodpecker" by Tom Robbins, Edna St. Vincent Millay, John Irving, Aldous Huxley, Douglas Adams, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Kurt Vonnegut, Ayn Rand, Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, German philosophers, French absurdists, modernist literature in general.
