I'm very eclectic in my music tastes - anything from Nina Simone to Beethoven to Talvin Singh.
I wish I got a lie-in on Saturday mornings but I never do.
I get really excited if I think I'm going to introduce somebody to a writer they haven't found before and I think they'll love. My favorite books to get as gifts are any that the giver is messianic about.
