I once heard an interview where the guy (some famous author, I think) advised that we should make a list of whoever we think are the most important people in the world (not just policitians or artists, and not necessarily just famous people either). Then we should make it our life's goal to meet all of them. My list used to have three people on it: King Hussein of Jordan, Tony Blair, and I forget the third. Hussein is now gone, alas. And Tony Blair has betrayed the reasons I admired him, and I would never want to be in the same room with him. However, Queen Noor of Jordan is now on the list, and I'm thinking of who else I might put there. Perhaps Al Gore. I'm not sure what chance I would ever have of meeting them, but imagine the conversation, if I could ever get over being intimidated!I wish I could have met Dorothy Dunnett, the author. I think I'd have been intimidated there, too, but my goodness, what an accomplished person she was!
Queensryche; classical; Celtic; some (though not much) jazz
Lord of the Rings. Dead Man Walking. Slingblade. Need to think more about this...
SLINGS AND ARROWS. If you haven't seen this series -- FIND IT. Any documentary about ancient Egypt (though I have much less interest in the ones trying to claim it has some connection with aliens, or Atlantis, or something). I enjoy the original CSI, and Law & Order: CI. I've also started enjoying Criminal Minds, because it's sort of a CSI for the psyche. And I LOOOOVE Anime, though mostly the ones that are for adults or an older youth audience.
Anything by Dorothy Dunnett EXCEPT King Hereafter - Joanna Trollope (sp?) - Guy Gavriel Kay - let me think of more
