I have a wide variety of interests fueled by insatiable curiousity. There are very few subjects about which I wouldn't want to know more and think about more deeply.

No one else knows the extent of my quest for knowledge, so I decided to make a list as of today of the periodicals that I regularly read:

Daily News:

Every day: The Dallas Morning News, The Financial Times, Yahoo News Headlines
Every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday: The Abilene Reporter News (Local)
At least weekly: The New York Times Online, The Onion

Weeklies:

Newsweek, Time, The Week (absolutely fantastic collation of collumns and opinions), the Chronicle of Higher Education

Monthly Magazines:

Car and Driver
Popular Science
Popular Mechanics
The Atlantic Monthly
Home

Others who have influenced me, but who can't be really called "favorites," include: Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean Paul Sartre, Paul Tillich, Howard Zinn, H. Richard Niebuhr, Reinhold Niebuhr, James Barr, Max Lucado, Robert Heinlein, Phillip Pullman, Thomas Hardy, H.G. Wells and many others who I'm ceartainly not remembering specifically right now.

I also owe a great debt in my development as a person to encounters with older texts that are both scriptural and simply historical:

Plato (Esp. the Republic)
Aristotle (Esp. the Poetics)
The Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament)
The New Testament
The Confessions of Augustine
Some of the early church fathers
Josephus
Misc. readings of Calvin, Luther, Ignatius Loyola, St. John of the Cross, John Henry Newman, Gerard Manley Hopkins, etc.

Later I'll comment on each and add the movies I like and the media forms I like.
