Reading, writing, photography, art, cinema, and a whole ton of other stuff. I have also tried my hand at scuba diving, caving, flying and climbing. Reading and writing are my twin obsessions at the moment, though.
Other people who read and write books. Reading is my passion and it has been great to meet so many other authors here. If you read or write (or both!) then it would be great to meet you, just add me as one of your friends.
Tom Waits, (the man is a genius), White Stripes, David Bowie, Elvis, The Stooges, William Shatner, ELO, Talking Heads, XTC, Foo Fighters...
Anything by Martin Scorsese. Also George Romero, Larry Cohen, Sergio Leone, Monte Hellman, The Coen Brothers, Sam Raimi, Roman Polanski...
Don't watch it. Not much anyway.
Some of the many authors I read... Michael Connelly, H. Rider Haggard, Stephen King, Thomas Pakenham, Lawrence Block, Harry Crews, Douglas Lindsay, Neal Gaiman, the list just goes on and on. Basically, if I had nothing else to read I would pick up a telephone directory and read that.
Parents who bring their children up to be responsible adults. I've got two young boys now and I'm just finding out what a huge, difficult, incredible, awesome and beautiful responsibility it is.
