San Francisco Reads: Aaron and THE GREAT GATSBY
By: Karen Biscopink Apr. 28, 2013
Name and Age: Aaron, 27
Location: The Tendernob, San Francisco
Occupation(s) / Things You Do: I head the Customer Success team at DoubleDutch, a startup in SF providing data-driven apps for events. I spend most of my free-time finding and consuming new music. I'm an occasional blogger, having launched and re-launched my personal music blog several times (www.theAside.me) and have written a few posts on SFCritic.com. You'll also often find me with coffee or whiskey in hand (sometimes both) reading at some of my favorite parklets.
Current Reads: The Great Gatsby and Stephen King's The Dark Tower Series. Yes, I am excited for The Great Gatsby movie and yes, I failed to read this during high school.
Favorite Book of All Time: This is a rather tough question. To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)is one that really sticks out but I also have a strong fascination with Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers (Mary Roach). I blame my background in anatomy for this one. Mary Roach takes a whimsical approach to the morbid, making it informative, and at times, entertaining.
Favorite Thing About San Francisco: The music scene! I'm a huge fan of live music and can quite often be found at a show dancing the night away. There isn't a week that goes by that I haven't found some sort of show or DJ set to go to.
