I'm a buddhist but I read all sorts of religious stuff, lately mostly christian but I'm most familiar with buddhism and hinduism. Although I read widely I'm opposed to eclecticism and perennialism, and enjoy reading critiques of new age stuff as well as critiques of technology and modernity more broadly from a religious lens
Two people I really like I have yet to mention are Baudrillard and Nagarjuna

TV: Nathan For You, How To with John Wilson, Nirvanna the Band the Show, Joe Pera Talks with You, Mad Men, The X Files, Twin peaks
Interests/hobbies Cooking, bowling, tossing a frisbee around, playing cards, playing pool. I like learning about other cultures through their food/cooking and religious beliefs
