I like reading books better than talking about them, but talking is OK too. Also movies. The dumber the movie, the more you can over-intellectualize it. Ponder the deep meaning of "The Corpse Grinders." Just not too much gore and not depressing. Like my sister says, "I don't go to the movies to get depressed. I have books for that."
I like history, ancient or medieval, biography, Latin, Greek, other kinds of stuff. Recently read (or reread) and enjoyed books:
The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (up to Constantine)
Team of Rivals
The novels of Patrick O'Brien
some poems of Pindar
Herodotus
Dead Souls by Gogol (I didn't like it as much as my friend did
All quiet on the western front
Dave Barry's book of bad songs
Fields for President, by W.C. Fields
