I don't get much time to get to the cinema. And to make up for that, I have a huge backlog of DVD's to catch up on. Please recommend any that you think I would like.
CSI-Favourite character-Grissom-so clever and unshockable. And as for CSI Miami-Horatio-doesn't he realize he's so ridiculous, its funny. Dr.Who,Torchwood,Prison Break(I love the tattoos),Shameless,Waking the Dead,Spooks,The Mighty Boosh,Q.I,Harry Hill,Green Wing,Horizon and similar Science and History documentaries. I couldn't keep up with the last series of Lost,so if anyone would explain whats going on now, I would be grateful. Guilty pleasure-Ugly Betty. I don't watch soaps, I'd have troulble keeping up and life's too short.
I love books. Archaeology,Ancient History and science on one hand, and pseudo-history/science on the other. I want the unexplained explained. I'm fascinated by conspiracies and other weird theories. I read everything from historical fiction, Sci-Fi, thrillers, crime, horror-especially Vampyre. Favourite books recently read were- Foucault's Pendulum-Umberto Eco.The Historian-Elizabeth Kostova.Wild Sheep Chase-Haruki Murakami.Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell-Susanna Clarke.Anno Dracula-Kim Newman.The Philosophers Stone-Colin Wilson.
