Ed,
Reading: I'm still making my way through Christopher Hitchens' "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything". For me, it's preaching to the choir, so I dig it, and only wish it would reach a wider audience.
Movies: Last night I watched a German film called "Downfall". It's a terrific account of Hitler's last days in the bunker. It was based upon the story of a young woman who was Hitler's secretary. Bruno Ganz was outstanding as Hitler. I highly recommend it. Tonight I finally get to see Sunset Boulevard. I have high expectations!
Music: The Fratellis debut "Costello Music". Check out the impossibly catchy song "Chelsea Dagger" on their myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/littlebabyfratelli

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the lovely Kathryn!
