Featured Guest: R.A. Salvatore

	The Dead by James Joyce I don't care who you are, if you ever get cocky about your writing skills, read the last three pages of this novella out loud, listen to the rhythms of the words, conveying the melancholy as surely as the story, and be humbled. Perfect writing. Perfect, perfect writing.
	The Deer Hunter I was the youngest of seven, and all of my siblings lived the Vietnam experience acutely, particularly my brother, who went from hippie to Marine. It was a confusing, hopeful and heartbreaking time and I think this movie captured that daily, hourly, paradox, perfectly.
	The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien How could I not include the book that found me trapped in my Mom's house during the great New England blizzard of '78 and spirited me away to a magical land, reminding me, after so many years, of why I had once loved to read and to write? This is still my favorite re-read.
	Tusk by Fleetwood Mac I wrote my first book to it. Through my college years, something from this particular band always seemed to be there in the biggest moments. It was as if they "got" me and my experiences, like an old friend.
	Cosmos by Carl Sagan A personal and spiritual journey of "what if?s" and "why nots?" Beautiful through every imaginative episode as the viewer comes to understand the triumph of reason over superstition and falls in love with possibilities.
