I am a self-proclaimed bibliophile with a working library of over 1600 books. I have read most of them. I can honestly say that I have books from *every* genre, all cataloged and organised, with electronic files and tried-and-true pen-and-paper records in an old library card cabinet. My most extensive collection is my scifi/fantasy section large enough to rival any Borders or Barnes and Noble. Of specialized interest, I search for Beauty and the Beast or Phantom of the Opera -based books and do my best to keep up-to-date on the latest publications.
My favourite authors are Tanith Lee and Carol Berg.
I am an opera singer. My favourite genres of music are 80s, classical and heavy metal. Oingo Boingo and The Ark are my favourite bands with Nightwish as a close runner-up. Among other favourites are Enya, Supra-Argo, Sting, Aerosmith and I've recently discovered Spandau Ballet.
For movies, I'll watch anything so long as it won't give me nightmares. Feel-good movies are a plus. French films make me a happy guy.
I write too. I've given myself a mandatory 1000 words per day exercise of writing. It's a nightmare.
I review books, movies, video games and audio books as well. Check it out at:
