MY tastes kinda vary.. it's hard to remember everything I like.. basically everything except Polka, and since i've never heard any Polka, i dun even know about that.

Sci fi, fantasy, philosphical for the most part.. but everything that is legible is ultimately my plaything.(currently re-reading the Eddings series)

Heroes:

Robert Heinlein, for the things he taught me, even tho i'd not had the chance to meet him.Frank Herbert, for ability to look past what's accepted.
