There is very little that doesn't interest me.
I'd like to meet:
Jane Austen.
Music:
I tend to stay classic...Billy Joel, The Eagles/Don Henley, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens, Roy Orbison, Chicago, CCR, Phil Collins, Elton John. I used to listen to 101.1 when it was the oldies but I don't like the new format now that they've brought it back. :(
*sara loves One True Media!
Movies:
I usually like movies about the underdog coming out on top: Rocky, Ever After, Gladiator, Sabrina. It doesn't matter if it's the chauffer's daughter getting the millionaire or the south-paw winning the championship as long as the loser wins.
Television:
I guess this is where my quirkiness comes in. I don't have a TV. Yes, by choice.
Books:
Uh Oh! Okay- Anything by Jane Austen, I think she is so talented. "Brothers Karamazov" and "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky. "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace" by Tolstoy. "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley. "A Separate Peace" by John Knowles. "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas. "Les Miserables" by Hugo, which absolutely broke my heart in two. "Night" by Elie Wiesel...gut-wrenching. All of the Harry Potter books, J.K. Rowling Rules! "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden. "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. "The Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien and "The Hobbit", of course. "The Yearling" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, WOW- what a touching story. "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" by Giorgio Bassani. "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. "A Tale of Two Cities" or anything else by Dickens. "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell takes you back to the South in the Civil War Days, the writing is incredible. I am ridiculous and could go on for hours (but I won't)! :P
Heroes:
My parents. My mother for overcoming circumstances much stronger than herself and, thereby, being an example for me. My father for picking up the shattered pieces and a gluestick and toiling patiently for years to put the puzzle back together. Neither one of them took the easy way and they have my respect and admiration for that.
