Hmmm, music taste varies quite a bit here. I can't say I like one type of music, or hate a lot. I can say I listen to a lot, but some things I wouldn't buy. If that makes any sense. So far it's covered small aspects of Dance, Trance, Indie, Rock, Chart, Chillout, Metal, House, Drum n’ Bass, Punk, Trip-Hop, Rap, Jazz and even some Classical. I can't claim to be a fan of a particular type or band. Merely I hear tracks, and I like them. Music taste has been influenced by a few things, namely the radio, the Tony Hawks series, Burnout 3, a few other games, films, and more recently; my brothers. Tom has introduced me to numerous bands, practically ordering me to get this and that. Will has taught me to avoid Run DMC etc. He’s actually shown me a few bands, so I can’t be too hard on him. Listed here, in no particular order, are many artists from my play list, but not all. Mainly the ones I have tracks/albums of that I really like, and maybe listed with one or two tracks that stand out for me. (Work in progress)

Books
Yes, I do like to read. Fact or fiction, it doesn't really bother me, although I’d much prefer to be drawn into what I read. I enjoy a book more if it is detailed enough for me to picture it visually. But, of course, not so much detail that it detracts from the story, and I forget what it happening. Sometimes I have to re-read passages over and over again so I don’t lose concentration on a dull bit. I don’t like that. I often have numerous books going on at the same time, which probably isn’t the best way of doing it.
