Guest Picks: Laurie Birmingham

After appearing on The Leonard Lopate Show, Laurie Birmingham took the time to tell us what she's been reading and watching recently.

What have you read or seen over the past year that moved or surprised you?

The Book of Mormon simply rocked. So sweet and salty at the same time. The movie Rabbit Hole was one of the best stage to film productions I’ve ever seen. I’m way into discovering more about the Crop Circle Phenomenon right now. I think someone or something is contacting us and we aren’t listening as a planet.

What are you listening to right now?

I seem to only be listening to songs and stories that I have auditions for in the near future – i.e. Wicked soundtrack.

What’s the last great book you read?

Finally read Autobiography of a Yogi and it was a life shifting experience. Got me back to meditation and yoga in my life.

What’s one thing you’re a fan of that people might not expect?

Again crop circles are fascinating to me. They are an amazing experience and they truly can’t be explained by our modern science. They are in over 40 countries and most are not hoaxes. I say to all on the planet – attention must be paid.

What’s your favorite comfort food?

French fries and vanilla custard. Preferably together!
