My first album given to me when I received my first walkman. U2 introduced me to music and have been my favorite band ever since.
The Joshua Tree
U2
For Emma, Forever Ago
Bon Iver
Introduced the world to African music. Having grown up in Africa represents so many ways my merger of my identities.
Graceland
Paul Simon
Discovered it when I was becoming a Young Father and was the personal sound track for that part of my life.
White Lighter
Typhoon
Came out in high school when I was discovering my first true heart ache. Perfect timing.
August and Everything After
Counting Crows
Captures brilliantly Mozart's tortured genius. My favorite movie ever.
Amadeus
Love Actually
The first real "adult" movie I first saw with my grandparents when I was young. Have watched it a million times since.
Romancing the Stone
The Usual Suspects
As Good as It Gets
Captures the best and worst of Africa. The book I gift the most to people.
The Zanzibar chest
Aidan Hartley
Dune
Frank Herbert
The Lord of the Rings
J.R.R. Tolkien
Project Hail Mary
Andy Weir
Definitely not a literary classic but contains to me one of the funniest lines in any book ever. Where he working as a WB consultant was working to end extreme poverty one consultant at a time.
The Sex Lives of Cannibals
J. Maarten Troost
Kenny F'ing powers
Eastbound & Down
Funniest thing ever to air
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Succession
Mare of Easttown
The Office
