I feel lost without a book, and loved to pass on books and have them passed onto me. I have pretty diverse taste and love to read about people who have had interesting lives so, I'm quite a fan of autobiographies/Biographies...Paula Yates, Anthony Keidis, Jim Morrison, Boy George, Vic Reeves, Roald Dahl.. Other stuff.. All of Irvine Welsh...especially "Glue",anything by Hunter S Thompson, the Lord of the Rings, The Gringo Trail, He Died with a Felaffel In His Hand, The Beach, Are You Experienced, Life of Pie, Running with Scissors, The Kite Runner, Daughter's of Copper Woman...are some that stood out to me. Also, I can sit for hours on end with an Atlas and just look at all the crazy little places in the world.My favourite book of all time is "the Miracle Life of Edgar Mint" by Brady Udall.....Go get it, it's beautiful!
I admire dynamic people...those who grab life by the balls, those who contribute... I also have admiration for creative people.. artists, entertainers, designers, activists, poets, musicians, writers...
