What is your favorite place you ever visited

You would ask that On first visit I would say Kyoto or Stockholm

But the place I always come home to is Paris.

What' your favorite book?

The one I'm reading at the moment? Seriously this is a hard question as as a philosophy professor I did a lot of reading that wouldn't count as favorite.

Recently my reading has been about Japan. One book that has stuck with me was "No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II" by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

It gave me real insight into FDR's life as well as why we didn't enter the war earlier than we did.

More questions please?

What is one food you could never give up?

Oh lordy.My unholy trio is choclate, tomatoes and garlic. Problem is I enjoy too much

I guess I'd have to say really good sashimi
