The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.
*Douglas Adams. Speech at Digital Biota 2, Cambridge, UK, 1998
I'll change this to Favourite Authors:
Douglas Adams, P.G. Wodehouse, Sarah Waters, Neal Stephenson.
Also, I am a huge Harry Potter fan. Don't try to mock me, I might hex you! ;)
Battlestar Galactica, Merlin, Firefly, Red Dwarf, Pushing Daisies, Blackadder, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Monty Python's Flying Circus, Big Bang Theory, Better Off Ted, ...
I love science fiction, spend too much time fiddling with my Mac and love to drown in books.

The Princess Bride (There are, of course, many other films that I like. But this one stands out in its quotability and re-watchability.)
