Outside the compulsion with past events that manifests itself in my writing career, my interests are all over the map. I am very much an "ideas" person-- I'm always reading something new or pushing some book into the hands of one suffering friend or another-- and since I was thisclose to going into film school, I am an unrepentant movie buff as well. And I rather enjoy haranguing the multitudes with my varied (always right, often totally unsolicited) opinions on events great and small, national and local, and exactly why it matters that Han shot first.
The glorious failures and botched revolutionaries of world history-- the Jews of Masada, the Ghost Dancers of Wounded Knee, John Reed, everyone who has ever given their life or broken their spirit on the forge of great events. I admire people who wager their all and lose, far more than all the winners the world has ever produced. If the crucial events of history have not been accomplished by beautiful losers, certainly all the events worth remembering have.

You scored as Hannibal Lecter. You are Hannibal Lecter. You dont need to eat human flesh to live, but do so because it just taste good. You are very intelligent, and enjoy using it to your advantage to keep people guessing. You arent a killing machine, but when you do decide to let loose, watch out! Dinner is served, with some fava beans, and a nice chianti!

Tolkien made me feel; Adams made me laugh; and Twain made me want to be a writer-- and even now he makes me want to be a better one. Those are the top three. On any given day I am reading half a dozen books ranging from some poli-sci rant to the more obscure Ellison or Asimov. Life's way too short for bad (or, worse, boring) literature.
