Members whose favorite books include ...
Showtunes... did you see that coming? A theatre major who listens to showtunes. Whoda thunk? Oh, and classic rock too. I'm a sucker for good music. Guess that's why my mp3 stopped in the 80s. And anything on Guitar Hero I, II, and III.
I absorb news like a sponge. A good sponge, not the crappy ones from the dollar store. Or maybe I should say I absorb news like Bounty paper towels. Or maybe the brand with the lumberjack the preferred brand nowadays. I'm so busy absorbing news I can't keep track of advertising schemes.

Hmmm.... Well I love CNN probably because if you miss something you know that it is going to be on again. I also have realized that I love shows like the Today Show, and Meet The Press. I only wish that it gave equal time to all the candidates within the race for the presidential race. Not just the Democrats.
