 |  Ripeby Ben Lee This CD has been pretty much my soundtrack for the last few months. There's just something about Ben Lee's music. It's like Prozac for your ears. |
 |  Certain Girlsby Jennifer Weiner I've been a big fan of Weiner's since her first novel, Good in Bed. This book, her latest, is a sequel to that story. I'm not usually a big fan of sequels in any medium, but this book is just so well done. Reading it was like hanging out with old friends. |
 |  Hippos Go Berserk!by Sandra Boynton I have a seven month old daughter, and this is her very favorite book. We read it every night, and I can quote the entire thing from start to finish, a skill that I am thinking may come in handy at a cocktail party at some point. You never know. |
 |  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindI have a terrible time picking just one movie as a favorite—I am entirely too indecisive, about all things—but when forced, this is always the one I choose. The story is so unique, and every time I watch it I find some new nuance or detail that amazes me. I love it so much, in fact, that I took my daughter's middle name. Clementine, from Kate Winslet's character. |
 |  Dazed and ConfusedSince I write about teenagers, I'm always drawn to anything having to do with high school, and this, in my mind, is the perfect high school movie. I have been known to abandon all plans for the evening if I find it on TV to watch it instead. Which is especially sad, considering I also own it on DVD. |
