I don't have one. I read enough, but I can't honestly say that I could tell you my favorite. I could probably give an answer, but it would be me summoning the title of the most impressive book I've read, not necessarily my favorite.

The movie I've watched the most is A Life Less Ordinary. It's an older Danny Boyle film, and it's an utterly absurd plot that makes for really creative storytelling. Not sure it's still my favorite. The Graduate may trump it.

Someone tolerant of my less charming moments. All other qualities are negotiable.

@failures art,

thanks for the first response....I like them indeed...Sucks for the packers...I hate the Giants big time....and I am a Jets fan, as I said, SO I HATE Brady, and the patriots also...lol

And yes, I agree if you meet someone who is a companion all other qualities are negotiable too...

For I do not believe the perfect women will ever just fall out of the sky!! Wink

@XXSpadeMasterXX,

Favorite book, Primo Levi's Reawakening

I like sports as a spectator from afar. SF 49ers, a new batch of golfers like Rory McIlroy; in tennis, Federer and Nadal; no particular team in baseball but some players; learning about soccer/futbol. Have played and enjoy fantasy football and baseball.

One of my favorite movies, Fellini's Amarcord. Why? The way the director made it.

Ideal companion? Various humans, but the steady one is a dog.

Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. It reveals and the power of the human mind and soul. Gripping and emotionally charged. I wish I could have read it in the original Russian. I studied Russian for a while for that reason. No go.

What is your favorite movie? Why?

This is harder to answer. Maybe To Kill a Mockingbird. I loved the book, but the movie came alive for me because of Gregory Peck. The ideal man in less than ideal circumstances. He was brilliant. I also very much like 12 Angry Men. Perfect casting. Not a dud in the bunch.

Do you like sports? What sports? What teams?

Yes, I like sports. I'm from the Bronx and could hear the crowds at Yankee Stadium in my apartment. I like the Yankees, the Giants, and the Knicks. I'm not a big hockey fan, but I'll take the Rangers if I gotta take somebody.

What is your ideal companion? Why?

No such thing.

I can not stand the Yankees, but it has to do with the fact they always win!! Wink

I have never been to a pro game....and would bet hearing the Yankee crowds is an awesome thing indeed, but I bet you get sick of it sometimes huh??

I have Lundqvist as one of my goaltenders on my fantasy team, and him and quick are keeping my team a float!!

Thanks so much to all others for their reply....interesting to hear from others, about other things indeed!!

Why do you feel this way? This makes me sad....

@XXSpadeMasterXX,

I never got sick of hearing the crowd. I was far enough away that it had to be a major play and a major crowd for me to hear it. My best friend lived much closer to the stadium. She could hear the loud speaker! That got old. I still have the ticket stubs for all the games I went to.

I went to a few Knicks games, but I never got to a Giants game.

Don't be sad that I don't think there's an ideal person for me. I'm an impatient, ornery woman who's not keen on commitment. And I usually love to be alone. I have no illusions about "ideal."

@Roberta,

got ya!! and is it true, that pro basketball is great in person??

I have heard that pro hockey is amazing to see, you see everything, and fights everywhere on the ice...I know someone who caught a puck from a slap-shot player of the flyers...his name was John LeClair...and if he did not catch it, someone else who was there, with him, would have been busted up big time...

Madison Square Garden is a big place. The players looked very small from my crow's nest vantage point. But it was great to be at a game and see the whole court all at once. Great to feel the excitement.

I also used to go to Forest Hills to see the U.S. Open tennis. Loved that. I usually had courtside seats. Great to be that close.

But my favorite was and always will be baseball.

Me too!

Even though I have never been to a pro game, been to many of the kind of sports, and baseball is the best...and I love baseball the most of any other sport....I have heard that watching pro football live is not actually that good, unless you have 50 yard line tickets...I have heard different people say, that the game is just as great on T.V. with the way the game is portrayed, and all the shots you see, than actually being there in person...I am sure some people would still love to go to the football games, but I bet if I did, my perspective would be the same as the people who say watching football shows everything...

And I am not in a hurry, to pay 6$ for a hotdog, and 10 bucks for a beer!!! Wink

@failures art,

WOW, that goes a lot deeper than what I meant by fantasy sports....that looks like it would be fun to do indeed...and a lot of coordination etc...

If you can do that, your and athlete for sure....

One of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer is play foot bag, I used to be very skilled in it...but now I am slightly above average....

Check this video out...This is a video I seen, from a buyer on Ebay for a foot bag..

@XXSpadeMasterXX,

My current favorite players are Jeter and Rivera. My all-time favorite Yankee (one I saw play) was Mickey Mantle. (I started going to games back in the sixties.) Loved watching him hit those towering homeruns.

I also loved Willie Mays. I trekked out to Shea Stadium in Queens to watch the Giants play the Mets just so I could see Willie in person. It was the only time my father and I went to a ball game together. He refused to go to Yankee Stadium. Yes, I lived with a Yankee hater.
