What are five of your favorite books and why do you like them?
1984 by George Orwell is an incredible story of what might have been if
history had made a few minor left turns. I'm fascinated with humanity's dark
side and no one has ever displayed it better in my opinion.
Holidays in Hell by PJ O'Rourke is similar to 1984 in that it (sort of)
explores humanity's baser qualities, but with laugh-out-loud humor. I never go
anywhere without flipping through this book to see what PJ had to say about it
first.
My Traitor's Heart by Rian Malan is perhaps the most honest book I've
ever read—so honest that it sometimes makes you want to look away. If you have
even a passing interest in Apartheid era South Africa (or even if you don't) I
strongly recommend you read this.
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. Anne sets a scene like no one
else. Creating a historical New Orleans and populating it so believably and
elegantly with vampires is quite a feat.
Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy. Perhaps the greatest thriller
novel ever written. 'Nuff said.
What is your favorite way to unwind?
I'm pretty much obsessed with rock climbing—which is why I live in Wyoming.
