Raymond's Lists of Favorite Things

Some people blog. Some people whine about the good old days. Some people spend more time on IMDB trying to remember the name of a television show they watched when they were a kid... I make arbitrary lists of the best of my favorite things--like TV shows and sci-fi authors.

I hope some of these will be a trip down memory lane for you, start an argument with your roommate, or give you ideas for future entertainment. I hope that you will not take any of these lists too seriously, quote them in a term paper, or e-mail me to complain that your favorite is missing. (Well, if you have something polite to say, I'll read your comments; but I don't promise to respond or change my mind.)

Here are my personal lists thus far...
