Too many favorites I'm an outdoorsy, bookish, adventurous vegan with a great sense of humor. Some recent favorites:

"Me Talk Pretty One Day" by David Sedaris
"Natasha and Other Stories" by David Bezmozgis
"Prague" by Arthur Phillips
"Fast Food Nation" by Eric Schlosser
"And We Sold the Rain" by Rosario Santos
"Shopgirl" by Steve Martin
"The Road from Coorain" by Jill Ker Conway
"Comfort Me with Apples" by Ruth Reichl.
And, of course, the Harry Potter books.

In addition to reading, traveling is a big part of my life. Some memorable adventures: celebrating the turn of the millennium in a 12th century castle in Wales, getting stalked by a crack dealer in Nicaragua, kayaking in New Zealand, bike-riding through white-night St. Petersburg, camping in the Canadian Rockies, staying in a Buddhist temple complex in Kyoto, and dodging multi-species traffic in Jaipur.

My ideal partner is a great guy who cares about the world. You offer your seat on the metro to anyone who needs it more. You take things seriously as needed, but you have a sense of humor and a healthy capacity for goofiness. You're intellectually curious and well-informed. Ideally, you're interested in traveling, both locally and internationally. You're good at communicating what you want in and out of a relationship, and at listening to your partner's needs.
