Cerulean blue

I like science fiction, historical fiction, and factual books. Also short story collections. Issac Asimov, Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Tristan Jones are my favorite authors.

5. What books have you really been wanting?
I'd love to read something by Sheila Kay Adams, or a book my Secret Santa especially likes. (a leftover hint from last year- sniff!)

6. What type of music do you like?
Folk music (any kind), Brazilian music, Balkan music. My favorite classical composers are Brahms and Stravinsky.

Something my Santa really, really likes him/herself! I've been hearing and really enjoying new things this year I never thought I would like - just because somebody else thought they were great and shared. Repetition brings addiction to new sounds.

Not so interested in owning any movie. I have "Amadeus" and "The Great Escape" already. That's enough.

Clutter!! Don't need any help there! (Alas, also a leftover hint from 2006!)

I'm a silver-tone person
