What I Read

I don't really watch TV, other than the news and 60 Minutes or other current affairs shows, and most of my viewing of TV shows are from box-set DVDs as well as docos and movies.

I've subscribed for many years to Wired, Rolling Stone (US), Vanity Fair, Conde Nast Traveler, Companion Parror Quarterly, Pollstar and read other magazines on pets, music, technology and marketing a lot.

Over the years, I've relished the time to read a great book and these are the ones that I've consumed in the past year.
