I'm new to Facebook API and I am building am app and I was wondering if there was a way to pull all the "likes" from a user?

No. You can get movies and bands from the graph. But any likes related to articles (web pages, etc.) they do not share.

Is that the only useful information I can pull in regards to what activities the user is interested in?

With the Graph API, the user_likes permission allows your app to get a list of all of the [Facebook fan] pages the user has liked. I don't think that even you as a user can see what articles etc. you have liked - at least I haven't been able to find that information.

Imagine the data mining and semantic analysis you could do with this. Behavioral psychology all through Facebook.
