This is a tough one, what to list, enough to show my interests
despite that they vary so much over time.
I’ll start with the easiest, food. I enjoy almost everything.
Seafood is probably my favorite, steak, pork chops, chicken, etc.
(Can you tell my grandfather owned butcher shops). I do have
vegetarian friends so I can easily enjoy that as well (also lived
in Pakistan and love curries). Oriental cooking (Japanese or Thai
style) is perhaps my favorite.
As far as music, my side of the family listens and my cousins are
musicians. I also have a number of musician friends and anything
goes if it’s live and the crowd is responding. When listening at
home I like almost anything that has any the following: attitude,
good rhythm, and great performances and dynamics. I enjoy (I’m sure
I’ll miss a few and only somewhat in order) classical, jazz, rock
and roll, some rhythm and blues, world music and Latin music (got
to love to dance).
Books I’m finding even harder to list.
I tend to read what is relevant to me now whether it’s technical,
sociology or fiction. I enjoy fiction or murder mysteries most when
they include relevant culture or history.
I don’t read much fantasy, but do like science fiction that
combines philosophy.
