Book
For my favorite book, I’m going to cheat and pick a book series. The Diagnosis Murder book series by Lee Goldberg. Basically, it continued the TV series from the point that Lee Goldberg left as an executive producer. Right after he left the show went badly downhill, so basically it gave me back the show of my childhood, and brought it to a really satisfactory conclusion.

I know, it’s not exactly “high brow” reading but I have never enjoyed a set of books more. That probably doesn’t say much for my taste heh, but reading them always makes me smile. He captured the characters brilliantly, and basically they are just a joy to read. I would recommend them to anyone. I probably got more out of them because I loved the show, and I suppose I don’t have any way of knowing for certain whether they can standalone, but still thoroughly recommended.

Movies under the cut because this got long.

Movie
Whenever I’m sick I always watch The Princess Diaries, it’s my feel-good movie, and I’ve watched it so many times I can quote most of it.

Then there’s the Marvel movies. I love them all but if I had to pick a favorite, then I would pick Captain America: Civil War. What I loved most about that movie is it let us make up our own minds, as to whether it was Steve or Tony that was right. It was a movie that made me think and stayed with me long after the credits had rolled.

The last one has to be Fools Game, mostly because of the yacht and how shiny the ocean is. I find the “romance” kinda annoying but I like the treasure hunting part and did I mention the boat?
