a) Loads of
Science fiction and
fantasy. I started on
Michael
Moorecock and have since read just about every
SF & Fantasy author that there is.
Currently Im reading
Greg Egan which is hard core SF.
Amungst the more popular names I read are
Iain M Banks and naturally enough
Iain Banks :-)
By volume I have read most of
Robert A Heinlin and
Philip K Dick
(
Anson and
Kendred if memory serves)
For fun I just back filled my
Pratchet back catalogue. Just have to
add a shout out for
China Mieville who is great, a
cross between the best of modern fantasy and victorian gothic
horror. Yay.
b)Humm Trying to recreate my list of favoUrite films ...
Classically I list : Withnail and I Blade Runner Repoman The Breakfast Club Akira (which is the only film
that I have ever seen more than once at the cinema) Add to that the
usual suspects (not the film the usual suspects, though thats not
bad) More to follow :-) Last film I saw was Herbie Fully loaded at
a London Preview. I have to say I enjoyed it, It made me think of
my childhood and of my first car (a beat up 1970 VW Beetle).
Actually that reminds me of the one thing that "bugged" me about
that film. They should have "dubbed" an English version replacing
"Bug" with "Beetle" throughout.
c) Music, ho ho. Eclectic would be an understatment. Here are my
most recent purchases from Amazon :
Jacques Brel
Foo Fighters
Nine Inch
Nails Green
Day Gorrilaz
System of A
Down The
White Stripes William Shatner Johnny Cash Judas Priest
Ok so some of those go together, but you can only imagine what
"play any track" is going to do on my mp3 player :-)
Add to the above :
RHCP (
Red Hot Chilli Peppers if
you prefer) The
Pink Floyd,
Prince,
David Bowie and more. More to
follow. ...
D) A quike note on food for now. I eat everything, I prefer Savory
to Sweet and I especially love Fish and Seafood in any form and
anything with mushrooms or asparagus or parma ham. Things cooked in
wine or milk or brandy. Things with fresh herbs. Things that smell
and look as good as they taste. Cheese, I almost left out cheese,
hard cheese soft cheese, cheese that won't sit on a shelf cause its
running down the wall. Halucenogenic Brie, Stilton that burns or
Ementall like rubber, I love it all. Ha, Spices Chilli, pepper hot
sauce, olive oil, herbs straight from the garden. In the end I
always come back to the tenticles, definatly things with tenticles.
PS inspite of my foodofile tastes I am still not fat. Ha in your
face body clock :-P
