Television
Haven't watched much TV lately...
Books
Authors, really, since I mostly read their books in bunches. Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Sayers' Peter Wimsey books, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes tales, Kipling's Kim; anything by Georgette Heyer. More recently, lots of Jennifer Crusie and Amanda Quick. Tolkien of course. Cordwainer Smith, Randall Garrett, P.G. Wodehouse, Diana Wynne Jones, Edward Gorey. Also lately, the trilogy beginning with The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. Lots more...
Heroes
Fire fighters, EMT folks everywhere. Although I'd rather not meet them in the line of their business, come to think. Among SF writers I admired, the late Poul Anderson comes high on the list of people I wouldn't mind emulating; quiet, writing to the end, seeming to have struck an enviable balance between a productive career and a warm personal life, rich in family and friends. Not precisely a hero, but someone of whom one might say, "Yes, waiter, bring me a life like that person is having..."

Thanks for accepting my friend request. I'm quite conflicted about the speed with which I am approaching the end of Diplomatic Immunity vs. the fact that the very nature of the Vorkosigan series makes it impossible for me to read more slowly! Over just a few months this series has become one of my all-time favorites, of a twenty-year-plus investment in reading and collecting SF and fantasy. Ordinarily I can simply wait until I happen upon the constituent books of a series, but in Miles's case I had no choice but to comb the local stores and then the internet to get my hands on his complete adventures as quickly as possible! Please take this as the high praise it is intended to be.
Me and my father are big fans of Miles and I'm very happy to be your friend on Myspace. Can't wait for the new book and hope that you will come to Croatia once again too sign my books. ^^
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
