    Marget Cho

    Margaret Cho spent much of her childhood in her parents’ bookstore in the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco, before beginning her career as a stand-up comic, and she likes to say that instead of being raised by wolves, she “was raised by drag queens.” In the mid-1990’s, she starred in the first Asian-American sitcom, All-American Girl, and followed that up with two popular solo shows, I’m The One That I Want and Notorious C.H.O., which have also been made into films, books and CDs. In an attempt to fill in the gaps in her education, we’re sending her out to wolf country; let’s ask her what she’s packing in her survival kit.

Her List:
1. Infinite Jest: a Novel by David Foster Wallace
2. Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello- CD
3. Complete Kama Sutra
4. Withnail and I- DVD
5. Belle de Jour- DVD
6. Massive Attack-Eleven promos-DVD
7. Neil Finn’s 7 Worlds Collide- DVD
8. Tibetan Book of the Dead
