Sooo many things I never have the time or money for!! I love to travel, anywhere. Wine! swimming at the lake,the beach, pools. Going to movies, plays, shows, definately live music which does not exist in Naples. I enjoy pool, bowling, and shooting my gun. sounds a bit dirty! This sounds like a personal ad, so I think I will stop... long walks on the beach....
I DO want to learn how to surf, though there are no waves here.

All time faves: To Kill a Mockingbird, Jane Eyre, Rebecca, Spring Moon, Russian novels (tried War & Peace, but didn't work, yet) more like A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisivich & Dr Zhivago. Little Women of course...
Hemingway (the WWI ones) and Fitzgerald; I like the 'Classics.' I was fortunate to read Antigone, the Aneid and many other true classics that I really enjoyed then but haven't re-read. I really liked Shakespeare, I just didn't read many of them. I want to read soo many more I forget what they are when I go to the library or the bookstore. My dream is to have a library in my house with floor to ceiling books.
Memoires of a Geisha was amazing, The Lovely Bones, Bridget Jones' (didn't try to rhyme!!), Jemima J. I did enjoy several Anne Rice novels, the witch series was great. Tom Robbins is an interesting read. Right now I am stuck reading "trade" stuff. Wine magazines, books, web sites. When I actually decide to. Pro-crastinator I am.
Pretty much anything British-great senses of humor, those Brits
I can't think of anything else, will have to come back to this one
I'm reading David Sedaris right now, he & his sister are hilarious...
I love suggestions, I actually took english classes in college to read books!!
Anything really though, except for 15th century Spanish literature. That didn't work so well in college, not working now.
