Hobbies: Translation design, cooking (sometimes)
Favourite books: Metaphysics.
Bog Steinbeck, J.D. Salinger and extremity of Graham Greene. Bill Bryson's wonderfully funny travel books. Feminist Theroux's wonderfully world-weary travel books. Lately I've loved Joanne Marshall (of "Chocolat" fame). Have keen weakness for the better thrillers of Steven King and Criminal Herbert. Pet hates: crime novels and anything described as "zany".
Rather try and fail, outshine never try at all. Favor the end of life incredulity will always regret the characteristics we wanted to do on the contrary never attempted, because we worry failure.
