Probably something of a scholarly nature. A not-at-all small reason for me to pursue an academic career RL is that it's primarily an indoor activity, and being pale and indoorsey, I don't really think I'd be fit to go out and maul daedra cultists or something like that.

Bookmarked for future ref, when I get some time off I can see myself reading a lot of this stuff. Good initiative! I don't think this has been mentioned yet, so I'll say The Once and Future King by T. H. White. It's a classic retelling of the Arthurian legends written around the time of the...

If you can do with some more classic fantasy, I'd recommend The Once and Future King by T. H. White. It's a retelling of the Arthurian legends, written around the Second World War, and being a bit of an Arthuriana geek, I can definitely state that it's my favorite work. I find it hauntingly...

Glad to be able to help - they're self-contained stories as I wrote them - The Long Halloween is one story, etc. Some of it might need a bigger context, though - like, for example, you won't get a lot out of Knightfall if you don't know some of Azrael's background. But that can be googled...

Well, there are obviously a stupidly large amount, concidering that Batman has been out and about since the late 30's. But I'm really big on Batman myself, and have read quite a lot, although I admittedly only picked up the hobby like a year ago (in a dedicated fashion, that is.) The Killing...

I voted Penguin - like many of the above, because I think he's the least dangerous to work for. I suppose Riddler would've been more or less the same.

I'm pretty big on reading (I know, I'm original, huh?), Superhero comics and cartoons, basketball, and hiphop.

RIght now, it's Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel. <3

I'd never skip out on a shower when I wake up - both because of the whole smellyness issue, but also because it's somewhat hard for me to wake up without it. Additionally, as I live in a hall of residence and share my kitchen with 12 other folks it's essentially impossible for me NOT to run into...

Haha, nice examples. My worst thing is probably that I cannot help but go on a psychotic rant whenever I hear misinformation about Batman - which is sadly often since I'm currently involved in arranging a Superhero-themed party, and I'm the only guy who reads comic books.

Eminem: The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, and the Eminem Show (That being said, he's my favorite artist and I love all his stuff, so I might just be biased here - I definitely think The Eminem Show was the best one, though) Dr. Dre: 2001 (Absolutely stuff-full of classics) D12...

DAMNIT, I wanted to say Aquaman. For real, somewhat situational, though - I mean, The Flash(es) have proved to be pretty useful at times, like when they trap Superboy Prime in the Speed Force (or attempt to, at least - which one is the faster of 'em, by the way? Wally? Barry? I know it's not...

How the hell did you fix a coke-can to the top of your head?

I'm glad to see that someone actually added "IMO", because this IS a very subjective distinction, and in my expirience people often end up being pretty rude to people who like the genre that they don't themselves. And personally, for example, I think there's a lot of great hiphop out there, and...

I've to agree - while I do prefer Rabbit Run from the soundtrack, I'm pretty sure that song doesn't actually appear in the movie. And this is one of the best songs from my favorite artist, so yeah, I'll just back it up and say "nice pick". For the record I do think the movie's better than...
