Reader Poll -- We want to hear from YOU!

What's cool now? What are some things you've recently discovered or gotten into? We want to know!

Presumably anyone reading this is part of a fairly like-minded circle of people with similar interests. So here's the idea:

From the list below, send an email with what you would "highly recommend". Please send a minimum of 5 answers (there is no maximum). Submit your answers via email to wide2rec@gmail.com (please, not in the comments section) Later on, I will share your suggestions on a future Wide to Receive missive and hopefully we can all find something new & cool to check out!

The categories are:

  • Book
  • Comic book series or graphic novel
  • A good bookstore
  • A good restaurant
  • A good record store
  • Magazine
  • The best place to get a good ___ (eg. burger/taco/drink etc) - specify what & where
  • TV series
  • Movie
  • Video game
  • CD
  • Band or musical artist
  • Website/blog/Twitter

What you choose to recommend is up to you: for example, you can name a bunch of things in the same category (eg. recommend a list of books), or you can pick & choose a bunch of categories. The only other real criteria is that your selections should be relatively current/recent things (like, something that has been released/published within the past couple of years). Try to "stay off the beaten path" a bit: the point is to help each other to discover new & different things. (So for example, yeah we already know "Lost" is a good show... try to tell us about something we might not have seen or considered.) Also, it's ok to name a store, restaurant, etc that might be in a different city but try to stick to locations that most of us might actually visit (ie, Canada or US)!

Got it? Good! Now start thinking! I look forward to seeing your answers.
