Seems more a rite of passage than anything, no? Going through the motions has perpetually been a rather tiresome ordeal, rife with monotony. Yet still, I offer my greetings to all. I am both an avid reader and writer, and, as in most of my artistic tastes, have a distinctly eclectic taste in literature.

'Til next time...and yes, literacy-on-the-net is a VERY attractive quality.

And to whose opus has your distinctly eclectic taste led you?

Indeed you will be happy with us sharing, and of course interacting something.

In regards to what artistic discipline? Literature specifically?

If that is the case, then I enjoy, as I am sure many and most present do, anything from the Bible and companion theological texts to diametrically opposed works centered on an atheistic philosophy. Also amongst my pleasures are historical works, especially of military-related matters.

Indeed, my joy of writing has of course yielded a genuine delight in reading satisfying fiction of all genres.

But, in all, the vast majority of my time spent reading unfortunately revolves around online newspapers (specifically the NY Times; don't get the wrong idea though, if you get me...) and hard-copy magazines, varied again: Car & Driver, Road & Track, Sports Illustrated, TIME, Newsweek, Pop. Mech., Pop. Sci., Forbes, Fortune, Men's Vogue, and, if ever available Current History, 2600 Quarterly (er...on second thought...).

Favorite works? Notably Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, the Bible, the colelcted works of C.S. Lewis, a good war history anthology, and, regarding a newly-found taste for poetry, Kipling's "If" and, quoted in my signature, Henley's 'Invictus". And of course, the timeless tale of msot utter importance, Shelley's "Ozymandias". Priceless.

Please share!
