- Leisure
- Books: Lots. Fantasy, scifi and "generally
educative" books mostly.
- Adams: Oi, my idol.
- Asimov: Robots and foundations. Mmm.
- Card: Ender & Alvin are splendid.
- Clarke: Rama decent. Depressing women.
- Eddings: Nice attitude; Pol is great.
- Feist & Wurts:
Empire I loved. Rest of Kelewan was nice.
Recommend Feist's Faerie Tale.
- Gaiman: Sandman rocks, the rest decent.
- Pratchett: Repeats himself, but wittily.
- The two combined: Buy me Good Omens!
- LeGuin: Read the Earthsea Quartet.
- Salvatore: Drizzt is an entertaining brain
relaxant, although either the quality seems to go down
or I'm growing out of it.
- Tolkien: Intake as movies preferred.
- Weis, Hickman & co:
Dragonlance is fun, but needs its gods.
Death Gate Cycle is just plain great.
- ...and many more, of course.
- Movies: Another bunch. Anime, much
fantasy and scifi. I'm sold to special effects and have no
artistic view, but... LOTR beats Star Wars! *duck*
- Music: Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls is the
thing. No, seriously, movie music, celticish, some classical,
silly and vocal/"choir" music (from Semmarit to Ultra Bra to
Weird Al and friends) do the thing. I prefer it served not
too loud. Oh, and I play the piano, but don't tell anyone.
- High Culture (TM): I'm not too civilized, but
some theatre and the occasional opera are all good for
the soul.
- Playing Roles: I've been an afternoon-LARPer and
tried table-RPGing, but don't have time for LARPs
and believe that
all that dice-throwing is best dealt with by a computer. ;)
