Every 5 years, I make a point to reflect on my favorite books, albums, and movies. It's an unofficial tradition of mine, and since my 35th birthday is this month, a new installment is in order. Some of the entries listed below are old classics in my personal canon, while others are new discoveries that I'm currently obsessed with. Either way, I'm obviously a huge fan of all the titles you're about to see. Feel free to peruse at your leisure, and while you do, I strongly encourage you to make your own lists too! If you do, please share them with me. Thanks! Read and enjoy - and I'll see you at my next installment, when I finally hit the dreaded 4-0...
