You must go see Nova Red. One of the most spectacular live bands I ever seen. It is some new music that I have got into.
Way to many to list here. Usually, Michael Chrichton stuff. If you are a Harry Potter fan though check out Phillip Pullmans Dark Materials Trilogy. Wow!! The Da Vinci Code was a great book. It really surprised my how well it was written.
How about what I wanna be when I grow Up? I wanna be like Superman or something.
